GTA Guru's Techno Thriller Unveiled: MindsEye

Leslie Benzies, the mastermind behind Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption, unveils his latest creation, MindsEye, in a thrilling PlayStation State of Play showcase.

The newly released trailer offers a glimpse into this cutting-edge spy thriller, echoing familiar elements from Benzies' previous work. Expect intense third-person gunfights, stunning cinematic sequences, and exhilarating drive-by shootings. Witness the action firsthand in the cinematic trailer below.

MindsEye follows Jacob Diaz, a protagonist burdened by a neural implant – the MindsEye – that fragments his memories, plunging him into disorienting flashbacks of his military past. His journey unfolds as he embarks on a mission to uncover the truth about his identity, confronting an AI-powered military force determined to thwart his progress.

MindsEye 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 this ambitious project. Initially touted 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 latest trailer omits mention of Everywhere, MindsEye promises an exciting action-packed experience from a genre icon. Anticipation builds for its summer 2025 release.
