During the IO Showcase, Build A Rocket Boy debuted extensive gameplay of MindsEye, its upcoming third-person action adventure. Assistant game director Adam Whiting outlines several features of the game over a pivotal story mission. Check it out below.
The mission occurs after something major happens in Redrock City, which is under martial law and seeing rain for the first time in years. Protagonist Jacob Diaz seeks to escape from armed forces, running and gunning across a rooftop before getting into a vehicle. Of course, it’s promptly shot down, and of course, he’s fine.
The action continues on the streets, where Jacob must now deal with robotic enemies. Fortunately, his companion drone comes in handy, whether it’s stunning robots with an electric shock or turning them into temporary allies. During missions, you’ll discover portals to side missions that provide more narrative context to the city and its characters.
There’s also side content accessible at any point from the Pause menu, including races. Build A Rocket Boy will look to add more post-launch, though players can create their own using the in-game tools.
MindsEye launches on June 10th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Check out our feature for what you should know.
