MindsEye: A New Techno Spy Thriller from GTA’s Former Lead Designer

Leslie Benzies, known for his role as the lead designer on major titles like Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption, is set to launch a new game titled MindsEye. This techno spy thriller received a fresh look during the recent PlayStation State of Play event.

The new trailer showcases a blend of third-person gunplay, cinematic sequences, and dynamic driving mechanics reminiscent of the Grand Theft Auto series. The story centers around Jacob Diaz, who possesses a neural implant called MindsEye. This technology disrupts his memory, leading to fragmented recollections of his military past as he embarks on a mission to uncover the truth.

In his journey, Diaz encounters an AI-driven military force that poses significant obstacles. Benzies founded Build a Rocket Boy after departing from Rockstar Games, collaborating with Hitman developer IO Interactive on this project. Described as a AAA action-adventure game, MindsEye aims to introduce a new platform called Everywhere, which has been characterized as a “big budget Roblox.”

While the latest trailer focused solely on MindsEye, it hints at an engaging experience from a prominent figure in the gaming industry. The game is scheduled for release in the summer of 2025.
