Studio IO Interactive, known for the Hitman series, will act as the publisher of the new ambitious project MindsEye. The game is being developed by the Build a Rocket Boy team, founded by former Rockstar North head Leslie Benzies. The project is being created on the Unreal Engine 5 and promises to be a sci-fi AAA action game with a deep story and innovative game mechanics.
MindsEye takes place in the USA of the near future. The main character is Jacob Diaz, a former soldier suffering from memory loss and flashbacks due to a mysterious implant. Players must help him uncover the secrets of his past by taking part in secret missions in a world under threat from artificial intelligence, technological experimentation, and political corruption. The developers promise a rich narrative, carefully crafted locations, the ability to control vehicles, as well as an innovative combat system and exciting cinematic cutscenes.
The release date for MindsEye has not yet been announced, but you can already check out the game’s page on Steam.
