Official press materials reveal that MindsEye centers around Jacob Diaz, a protagonist equipped with a neural implant, the MindsEye, which has fragmented his memory, leaving him with disorienting flashbacks of his military past. His quest to unravel the truth about his history leads him into conflict with an AI-powered military force.

MindsEye has been in development for several years. Following his departure from Rockstar Games, Benzies established Build a Rocket Boy, collaborating with IO Interactive (Hitman developers) on this AAA action-adventure title. MindsEye will also integrate with the Everywhere platform, previously described as a "high-budget Roblox" following a studio visit in 2024.

While the new trailer omits mention of Everywhere, MindsEye promises an exhilarating action experience from a leading figure in the gaming industry. Anticipate its release sometime in the summer of 2025.
