GTA Designer's Techno Spy Thriller: 'MindsEye' Debuts

Leslie Benzies, the mastermind behind Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption, unveils his latest creation, MindsEye, with a fresh look at the PlayStation State of Play.

The new MindsEye trailer showcases a high-octane spy thriller reminiscent of Grand Theft Auto, featuring third-person gunfights, stunning cinematic sequences, and intense drive-by shootings. Watch the cinematic trailer below:

A press release reveals MindsEye follows Jacob Diaz, whose neural implant, the MindsEye, has fractured his memories, leaving him with fragmented flashbacks of his military service. His quest to uncover his past pits him against an AI-powered military force.

MindsEye has been in development for several years. Following his departure from Rockstar, Benzies established Build a Rocket Boy and collaborated with IO Interactive (Hitman developers) on this 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 promises an exhilarating action experience from a gaming legend. Expect its release sometime in Summer 2025.
