Build A Rocket Boy is now self-publishing MindsEye. This gives us more direct control over the game and how we communicate. We can move faster, respond more quickly, and you will hear things from us first.

Here is what we are working on.

BLACKLISTED

Step into the role of Julia Black, a world-class assassin on a mission to Redrock City to eliminate two key targets. Working for Meridian, an agency under pressure from both outside forces and internal threats, every move carries risk. Infiltrate a criminal network, sabotage a deadly deal, and uncover the truth in a story driven by espionage, deception, and precision.

Multiplayer Races

Multiplayer is coming to ARCADIA. Multiplayer Races will let players compete head-to-head in competitive racing. We will share more on this closer to launch.

ARCADIA Race Builder - Console and PC

Build ARCADIA has been on PC for a while, giving players the tools to create and share their own games within ARCADIA. This year we are launching the Race Builder to streamline the creation of racing tracks. Players will be able to build their own single and multiplayer racing games.

More ARCADIA Content

We will keep releasing regular updates throughout the year. In addition, console players will soon be able to access the library of player-made games the PC community has already created. It is the first time this part of ARCADIA is available to everyone.

More to Share

There is more coming in 2026 that we are not ready to talk about just yet. We will share things as they get closer. Thanks for playing MindsEye. We are glad to be building this with you.

Update 5 is now live on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. 

This update introduces the new Launcher Page, making it easy to access the main campaign and browse featured ARCADIA missions. 

Halloween hits Redrock with Going Haywire – Downtown, a fast-paced arcade shooter set on the city’s strip with chaotic Halloween energy as you switch weapons, rack up combos, and fight for the top score. The update also adds new ARCADIA content for both Standard and Deluxe Editions.

Build A Rocket Boy and IOI Partners today released the final trailer and announced the global launch of MindsEye, the highly anticipated action-adventure game from visionary game director Leslie Benzies. Available now.   

MindsEye delivers a gripping cinematic campaign, dynamic tactical combat, and an expansive creative ecosystem powered by Build A Rocket Boy’s proprietary Game Creation System.  

Set in Redrock, a sprawling desert metropolis ruled by surveillance and automation, MindsEye follows Jacob Diaz, an ex-soldier haunted by fractured memories. As his personal mission escalates, he’s forced to navigate a world shaped by rogue AI, militarized tech, and a fragile grip on control, all while confronting the truth about his past.  

MindsEye combines high-stakes narrative, fast-paced third-person combat, and cinematic set pieces. Players fight on foot, behind the wheel, and in the air, supported by the evolving DC2 drone, a tactical companion linked to Jacob’s MindsEye implant. From city streets to rocket launch sites, every mission pushes intensity and scale.  

“With MindsEye, we wanted to create something original, something that pushes boundaries, feels familiar, and is genuinely fun to play and rewarding to create,” said Leslie Benzies, founder of Build A Rocket Boy. “It’s been nearly a decade of collaboration across design, tech, narrative, and art. This world wasn’t just built for players; it was built with the idea that they’d eventually take it further.”  

In addition to the scripted campaign, MindsEye will be an ever-expanding player experience, with new missions, races, and challenges delivered monthly, on all platforms thanks to the power of BARB’s Game Creation System. On PC, Build.MindsEye opens up the Game Creation System itself, empowering players to craft, publish, and remix their own gameplay - all without leaving the game.  

“This is about access,” Benzies added. “About breaking down the walls between studio and player. The Game Creation System puts the power of development in players’ hands. MindsEye is designed to grow, adapt, and inspire; it’s not just a game, it’s the future of interactive entertainment.”
