Leslie Benzies, the former president of Rockstar North, is launching his action shooter MindsEye this summer. The game presents a future where AI and human greed lead the planet to disaster. The gameplay trailer, revealed during the PlayStation State of Play, showcases intense combat where vehicles explode in dramatic fashion. The protagonist, Jacob Diaz, navigates through the chaotic environment equipped with a unique neural implant delivering fragmented memories of his past.

The narrative will plunge players into dilemmas where AI, advanced technology experiments, and military authority intertwine at every turn. A broader narrative suggests the game connects to the ambitious Everywhere project, which was previously announced as a world bridging gaming and reality. Further insights into this connection are anticipated as the release date approaches.

Potentially, Benzies may be exploring themes from his past with the franchise he helped build, hinting at an evolution in his creative direction after years of Grand Theft Auto.
