MindsEye is a single player story-driven action-adventure set in a near-future America, exploring AI, corporate espionage, and political corruption with high-octane driving, explosive combat, and best-in-class cinematics.

Play as Jacob Diaz, a former soldier with a mysterious neural implant who is suffering from memory loss and flashbacks.

Set out on a series of dangerous covert missions to unlock the secrets of your past in a world filled with the persistent threat of artificial intelligence, high-tech experimentation, corporate espionage, political corruption, and an unchecked military.

MindsEye is an immersive experience with a mind-bending complex narrative, rich environments, groundbreaking combat, future tech, and high-speed chases.


IO Interactive announced an agreement with Leslie Benzies’ Build A Rocket Boy, to publish and distribute MindsEye, the company’s cinematic AAA, story-driven action-adventure thriller created by the legendary game director.

Benzies has a 25-year track record in developing, producing, directing, and designing video games, won multiple awards, and is recognised across the industry for his significant contributions to video game creation. Having left Rockstar in 2016, Leslie Benzies is the former president of Rockstar North and lead developer on the Grand Theft Auto series, taking responsibility from Grand Theft Auto III to Grand Theft Auto V.

“From day one, Build A Rocket Boy Studios has been focused on creating the next generation of compelling gaming and quality entertainment experiences.  We can’t wait to share our first AAA premium game and ever-evolving universe, MindsEye, with the world. There is no finer partner than IO Interactive to publish our first title, with their strong understanding of community culture, premium action-adventure games, and a best-in-class publishing team, we really look forward to partnering with them on our new blockbuster journey.” Leslie Benzies, Game Director at Build A Rocket Boy.

With more than two decades of experience creating games, IO Interactive has established leading resources and expertise in bringing unique games to market worldwide, as the development and publishing of the award-winning game HITMAN World of Assassination attests. To oversee MindsEye’s global publishing services, including marketing, localization, distribution, QA, and game support, IO Interactive announces the creation of its third-party publishing division, IOI Partners. Channeling IOI’s continuous drive to create innovative games, IOI Partners’ mission is to deliver impactful entertainment through creative, quality-focused collaborations, bringing exceptional gaming experiences to players.

“We are honoured to be the global publishing partner working with Build A Rocket Boy’s exceptionally talented team and to bring our community an exciting new IP. IO Interactive and Build A Rocket Boy are like-minded in how we aim to create a bond and a long-term relationship with our communities, which perfectly aligns with our commitment to delivering high-quality, immersive experiences to players worldwide. As our first publishing partnership, this marks a significant milestone for IO Interactive, and we could not be prouder of this collaboration.”  Hakan Abrak, CEO at IO Interactive.
