MindsEye from GTA Creator Loses Publisher and Hitman Crossover

The launch of the ambitious project has faced considerable challenges.

Recent insider reports regarding MindsEye, the ambitious project from former Grand Theft Auto producer Leslie Benzies, have now been officially confirmed.

IO Interactive has ceased its publishing partnership with Build A Rocket Boy, the studio behind MindsEye. The company made the following announcement:

The ‘Hitman Mission,’ initially announced for June 2025 as a crossover event within MindsEye, will not be released. However, Build A Rocket Boy studio intends to collaborate with other partners on future projects.

MindsEye itself experienced a troubled debut. The game drew significant online criticism for its quality, with some developers even reporting ‘sabotage’ and an organized campaign against the project.
