IOI Partners and Build a Rocket Boy, the studio founded by former Rockstar alum Leslie Benzies, showed off a new trailer for the upcoming "immersive cinematic thriller" called MindsEye. In more basic terms, MindsEye is a "narrative-driven, single-player action-adventure game" that is expected to release summer 2025 on Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation.
Revealed during Sony’s PlayStation State of Play, MindsEye debuted with a cinematic story trailer and a gameplay showcase, giving players their first look at its near-future setting, explosive combat, and adrenaline-fueled driving sequences.
"I’ve dedicated my entire career to crafting captivating interactive entertainment to delight players," said Leslie Benzies, Game Director of MindsEye. "With MindsEye, we’ve pushed cinematic adventure to the next level - building characters and a world that feels truly alive. We can’t wait for players to step in and feel the immersive realism and tireless effort poured into every moment of the game."
MindsEye follows Jacob Diaz, equipped with a mysterious neural implant, the MindsEye, that has left him with disjointed flashbacks of his time in the service. As Jacob fights to uncover the truth, he is drawn into a world where AI, high-tech experimentation, and unchecked military power impact every step of his journey.
Set in Redrock, a fictional desert metropolis in the not-too-distant future, MindsEye tells a story of artificial intelligence, human greed, and the battle for control, bringing Earth to the precipice of collapse. Players will explore a richly detailed world, uncovering hidden conspiracies while navigating a deeply personal and high-stakes narrative.
