Build a Rocket Boy, the studio founded by Leslie Benzies, has released a second trailer for MindsEye, which is set to launch on June 10th.
If you’re not aware, Benzies was a hugely influential figure for the Grand Theft Auto series, and has earned the status of being a legendary figure in the industry for good reason. The studio has partnered with IO Interactive (the studio behind the wonderful Hitman series) on publishing, and this new trailer is called “Welcome to Redrock”.
The second story trailer introduces players to Redrock City, a super-heated near-future desert metropolis, where technology is king. We get a glimpse of its immersive influence – consumer robots carry out most manual tasks and an algorithm connects all-seeing devices. The city itself is a living experiment in the existential potential of man and machine.
We meet intriguing characters, including Marco Silva, the eccentric tech genius and founder of Silva Industries, who wants to change the course of human evolution. We’re also introduced to Shiva Vega, Redrock’s power-hungry Mayor, whose blind ambition is to make Redrock the safest city in the world and to gain even greater control of its citizens.
The volatile relationship between Silva and Vega – Big Tech and Government – is poised to impact the future of Redrock and its inhabitants, but mostly Jacob Diaz, MindsEye’s protagonist, as he searches for answers about his troubled past.
“We can’t wait for players to immerse themselves in our tightly crafted game, MindsEye, with a thought-provoking story where technology and ambition collide, and the inevitable consequences unravel.” said Leslie Benzies, Game Director of MindsEye.
Pre-orders for the digital and physical version of the game are available now, and if you do pre-order you’ll get the “Deluxe Edition Upgrade” that includes “the “Premium Pass”, the “Deluxe” Thorn & Kepler Yellowjacket Weapon, “Future” Jacob Vest Skin, “Future” Silva Sedan Vehicle Skin, and the “Future” DC2 Companion Drone Skin.”
