With some of the industry’s greatest creative talent working behind the scenes to bring IO Interactive and Build a Rocket Boy’s vision to our video consoles on June 10th, 2025 (less than two weeks), it’s time to be genuinely excited about what MindsEye will have to offer.
You don’t have to search very far to find that there is a heavy focus on the narrative and story of the game. As someone who is a sucker for story-driven, third-person action games, (Uncharted, God of War, Alan Wake) you can quite easily see how someone like myself will sit up and notice this one.
The synopsis of the game, direct from the developer’s website, reads as follows:
“MindsEye is a narrative-driven, single-player action-adventure thriller set in the near-future fictional desert city of Redrock. Featuring best-in-class cinematics, high-octane driving, and explosive combat from game director Leslie Benzies.”
The game has also dropped a few trailers, which, to be honest, only make the game look “okay” as we are not really seeing anything groundbreaking there, just solid. In my “the cup is always half full” world, solid gameplay matched with what we can hopefully find to be a superb story could result in a great game. Only time will tell.
In the meantime, enjoy these trailers of what the game has to offer and come back to Gaming Respawn on the game’s worldwide release date of 10th June 2025, where we hope to provide you with a full written review.
