Build A Rocket Boy, the new studio from former Grand Theft Auto producer Leslie Benzies, announced that MindsEye, its cinematic single-player action game, is launching this Summer for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Not only that, but they’ve shared two new trailers setting up the game’s story, as well as a new look at gameplay.
For starters, the cinematic trailer is very cinematic, introducing us to Jacob Diaz, a former soldier equipped with a mysterious neural implant that has afflicted him with flashbacks to his time in the military. MindsEye takes place in a fictional desert metropolis called Redrock, which Build A Rocket Boy promises will be a richly detailed world full of hidden conspiracies, stories, and AI technology.
Meanwhile, the new gameplay trailer shows off some slick cover-based third-person combat. But on foot is not your only battleground, as you will also engage in high-speed chases both in cars and aircraft.
One final interesting note – MindsEye is the first game to be born of Build A Rocket Boy’s larger “metaverse” game known as EVERYWHERE, which sounds similar to the direction the Assassin’s Creed franchise is heading with its Animus Hub. Essentially, the in-game universe will expand upon itself with all future games and experiences accessible from this central hub.
