Official press materials reveal that MindsEye follows Jacob Diaz, whose neural implant, the MindsEye, has fragmented his memories, leaving him with disorienting flashbacks from his military service. His quest to uncover the truth about his past puts him on a collision course with an AI-powered military force determined to stop him.

MindsEye has been in development for several years. Following his departure from Rockstar Games, Benzies established Build a Rocket Boy, collaborating with Hitman developer IO Interactive on this project. Advertised as a AAA action-adventure title, MindsEye will also integrate 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 promises an exciting action game from a leading figure in the industry. The game is slated for release sometime in Summer 2025.
