GTA Lead Designer's New Techno Spy Thriller: MindsEye Unveiled

Leslie Benzies, the renowned former lead game designer behind Rockstar hits like Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption, is gearing up to launch his latest project, MindsEye. The game, which recently got a fresh showcase at the PlayStation State of Play, promises to be a thrilling high-tech spy adventure that echoes some familiar elements from Benzies' previous work.

In the newly released cinematic trailer for MindsEye, viewers can dive into a world of third-person gunplay, high-quality cinematics, and dynamic drive-and-shoot action, reminiscent of the Grand Theft Auto series. You can experience the excitement for yourself by watching the trailer below.

MindsEye has been in the works for several years since Benzies left Rockstar Games to establish his new studio, Build a Rocket Boy. In collaboration with IO Interactive, the developers behind Hitman, MindsEye is positioned as a top-tier action-adventure game. Additionally, it will be part of the Everywhere platform, which we likened to a "Big budget Roblox" following a visit to their studio in 2024.

While the new trailer did not delve into the Everywhere platform, MindsEye itself stands out as an eagerly anticipated action game from a key figure in the gaming industry. Fans can mark their calendars for a summer 2025 release.
