MindsEye follows Jacob Diaz, a protagonist burdened by a neural implant – the MindsEye – that fragments his memories, leaving him with disjointed flashbacks of his military past. His journey unfolds as he embarks on a mission to uncover the truth, confronting an AI-powered military force determined to obstruct his path.

The game, a AAA action-adventure title, 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 MindsEye. Previously, we described their accompanying Everywhere platform as a "big-budget Roblox" following a studio visit in 2024.

While the latest trailer doesn't highlight Everywhere, MindsEye promises a thrilling action experience from a gaming legend. Anticipate its release sometime in the summer of 2025.
