So IO Interactive and Build A Rocker Boy have come to an agreement, and it looks like a very promising collaboration between the two companies.

The name Build A Rocket Boy may not say much by itself, but it does when you add in the fact that it’s Leslie Benzies’ company. He worked at Rockstar for twenty-five years and was a developer, producer, director and designer on the Grand Theft Auto franchise, so he’s one of the company’s most important ex-developers…

MindsEye is a single-player, story-driven action-adventure set in a near-future America that explores artificial intelligence, corporate espionage and political corruption with high-octane driving, explosive combat and world-class cinematics. Play as Jacob Diaz, a former soldier with a mysterious neural implant who suffers from memory loss and flashbacks. Embark on a series of dangerous covert missions to unravel the secrets of your past in a world filled with the constant threat of artificial intelligence, high-tech experimentation, corporate espionage, political corruption, and an unchecked military. MindsEye is an immersive experience with a stunningly complex narrative, rich environments, groundbreaking combat, futuristic technology, and high-speed chases.

“From day one, Build A Rocket Boy Studios has been focused on creating the next generation of compelling games and quality entertainment experiences. We can’t wait to share our first premium AAA game and ever-evolving universe, MindsEye, with the world. There is no better partner to publish our first title than IO Interactive, with their deep understanding of community culture, premium action-adventure games, and a world-class publishing team, we look forward to partnering with them on our new blockbuster journey,” said Game Director Leslie Benzies.

“We are honored to be the global publishing partner to work with Build A Rocket Boy’s exceptionally talented team and bring an exciting new [intellectual property] to our community. IO Interactive and Build A Rocket Boy are like-minded in our desire to create a bond and long-term relationship with our communities, which aligns perfectly with our commitment to delivering high-quality, immersive experiences to players worldwide. As our first publishing partnership, this is a significant milestone for IO Interactive and we could not be more proud of this collaboration,” added Hakan Abrak, CEO of IO Interactive.

This could be a huge gold mine for the Danish company. MindsEye is being developed for consoles and PC, release date unknown.
