The short trailer released for the highly anticipated new game MindsEye has given players the first concrete clues about the action-packed gameplay. Developed by Build A Rocket Boy, this game manages to raise players' expectations by combining intense combat scenes and breathtaking vehicle chase sequences from a third-person perspective. The game's planned release date for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S platforms has been determined as June 10.
First Look at the Action-Packed World of Jacob Diaz
The released trailer focuses on the game's main character Jacob Diaz's relentless struggles with different enemy groups. Players can see Jacob equipped with various firearms such as pistols, shotguns and machine guns. One of the most important details that draws attention in the combat scenes in the trailer is that environmental interaction plays a critical role in gameplay. The strategic use of explosive barrels and the active evaluation of cover points in the environment seem to increase players' chances of survival. Even during high-tempo combat, environmental awareness will be decisive in players' tactical decisions and defeating their enemies.
Moments Where Story and Chase Intertwine
In the short story section of the trailer, we witness the main character Jacob's struggle with the two hackers he is chasing. When one of the hackers manages to escape, Jacob quickly jumps into his vehicle and sets off to find the second hacker in accordance with the instructions received from the radio. This plot, combined with the fast-paced vehicle chase sequences that follow the conflict scenes, aims to keep the player constantly at the center of the action. This intertwining of storytelling and gameplay signals that MindsEye will offer an immersive experience.
The “Fast and Furious” Feeling in Driving
Previous statements about the game’s vehicle handling mechanics also support the fast-paced chase scenes we see in the trailer. The game’s assistant director, Adam Whiting, stated that the camera system aims to give the player a feeling of being on the edge of control, especially when cornering at high speed. Whiting raised expectations for this aspect of the game by saying, “We wanted to create chase scenes that felt like they came out of a Fast and Furious movie.” The vehicle sequences in the trailer also confirm these claims. The camera angle increases the excitement without forcing the player, and it seems to allow for precise maneuvers with combinations of the gas, brake and handbrake. This promises players a driving experience that is both action-packed and highly controlled.
Early Leak Revealed Most of the Gameplay
A recent leak gave gamers a preview of most of MindsEye’s gameplay. Footage sent to a streamer for a private screening was accidentally shared on a live stream and viewed by a large number of people. This leak detailed both the combat scenes and vehicle chase sections we saw in the trailer. The official trailer released after the leak confirmed these images, while providing a clearer idea of the game’s general atmosphere and gameplay mechanics.

Pre-orders for MindsEye are available on various digital stores with a price tag of $59.99. The developer team Build A Rocket Boy states that the short trailer released is just the beginning and announces that the full gameplay video of the game will be shared very soon. This means that the excitement for the game will increase even more. The full gameplay video is expected to show the game's mechanics, story and general structure in more detail.
MindsEye: Where Action, Story and Pace Meet
In light of the released trailer and previous information, MindsEye promises players a dynamic experience where action-packed conflicts, an immersive story, and breathtaking vehicle chase sequences are presented together. While conflicts where environmental interaction is at the forefront require strategic thinking and quick decision-making, the vehicle chase sections seem to provide adrenaline-filled moments. Although not many details have been shared about the game's story and characters yet, the clues we see in the trailer show that Jacob Diaz will be dragged into a complex plot. MindsEye, which will be released on June 10 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, has already become one of the most anticipated action games of the year.
