Leslie Benzies, the mastermind behind Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption, unveils his next project: MindsEye. This high-octane spy thriller, showcased at PlayStation's State of Play, offers a fresh take on familiar action elements.

A newly released trailer highlights the game's third-person shooting mechanics, stunning cinematic sequences, and intense drive-by shootouts, reminiscent of Benzies' previous work. View the cinematic trailer below:

MindsEye follows Jacob Diaz, a protagonist burdened by a neural implant, the MindsEye, which fragments his memories, leaving him with disorienting flashbacks from his military service. Driven by a quest to uncover his past, he confronts a formidable AI-powered military force.

The game, in development for several years, is a collaborative effort between Benzies' studio, Build a Rocket Boy, and IO Interactive, the creators of Hitman. Initially announced as a 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 itself promises a thrilling action experience from a leading figure in the gaming industry. The game is slated for release sometime in Summer 2025.
