A new rumor indicates that a sequel, MindsEye 2, might be in the works at Build a Rocket Boy. However, the game’s future appears dubious after the related title had a troubling launch earlier this month. MindsEye marked the first release from Build a Rocket Boy, established in 2018 by Leslie Benzies, previously the president of Rockstar Games and producer for Grand Theft Auto.

Despite initial excitement post-Gamescom 2022 when MindsEye was revealed, it unfortunately received some of the year’s poorest reviews shortly after its Steam launch. Players commended the game’s driving mechanics and story elements, but cited severe bugs, performance issues, and low frame rates on current-gen consoles as key criticisms.

Build a Rocket Boy has acknowledged these concerns and is committed to issuing updates, yet rumors persist about a MindsEye 2 featuring a multiplayer format aimed for release in 2026, as suggested by YouTuber BaityBait (as reported on Reddit). Nonetheless, his reliability remains unverified, prompting fans to remain skeptical.

Further complicating matters, it has been suggested that the studio’s sequel plans may have shifted, especially given the critical backlash that resulted in MindsEye being labeled as the worst-reviewed game of the year. This raises the question of whether focusing on developing a sequel now is viable, or whether the studio should prioritize enhancing the original game before considering any further projects.
