Indie AAA studio Build a Rocket Boy’s debut title, MindsEye, has received an extended new look, with the developer and publisher IO Interactive unveiling two new trailers at State of Play. Check them out below.
Directed by former Rockstar Games and Grand Theft Auto veteran Leslie Benzies, MindsEye is a single-player, narrative-driven title set in near-future America. Players will play as ex-soldier Jacob Diaz, equipped with a mysterious neural implant known as the MindsEye. Thanks to the implant, Diaz is haunted by bits and pieces of memories of a covert mission he was once involved in, the secrets of which he must now unravel.
As per Build a Rocket Boy and IO Interactive, MindsEye will tout “best-in-class cinematics, high-octane driving, and explosive combat.” The game will be set in the fictional city of Redrock. Described as a “richly detailed desert metropolis”, it will serve as the backdrop for a story about “artificial intelligence, human greed, and the battle for control, bringing Earth to the precipice of collapse”, as per Build a Rocket Boy.
MindsEye will launch sometime this Summer for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
