MindsEye Gameplay Leaks: GTA Vibes from Ex-Rockstar Veteran Leslie Benzies.

Open-world chaos meets cinematic ambition in this surprise leak from one of the minds behind Grand Theft Auto.

🚨 The leaks are in — and they’re loud. Early gameplay footage from MindsEye, the upcoming title led by former Rockstar North president Leslie Benzies, has surfaced online, and it’s already drawing comparisons to GTA V on steroids. 🚗💥

Developed by Build A Rocket Boy, Benzies’ new studio, MindsEye is shaping up to be a narrative-heavy open-world action game packed with high-speed chases, urban shootouts, futuristic tech, and cinematic flair — all wrapped in a neon-drenched, near-future setting.

🎮 What the Gameplay Leak Reveals

The leaked clips — reportedly from an internal build — showcase:

• 🏙️ A massive, high-detail city with bustling NPCs, traffic, and destructible environments
• 🚘 High-speed car chases that feel straight out of GTA V or Cyberpunk 2077
• 🤖 Futuristic tech like combat drones and AI-driven enemies
• 🔫 Cinematic gunplay with dynamic cover systems and fluid movement
• 📱 Hints of an in-game augmented reality system and “data hacking” gameplay

The protagonist appears to be a slick, corporate agent-type, suggesting a heist-meets-tech-noir storyline with political intrigue and rebellion themes.

🗣️ “It feels like the natural evolution of GTA — but smarter and more sci-fi,” one fan commented after viewing the leak.

🧠 Who’s Behind MindsEye?

Leslie Benzies isn’t just any developer — he was the lead producer of Grand Theft Auto III through V, and a driving force behind Rockstar’s success. After a high-profile departure and legal battle with Rockstar, he formed Build A Rocket Boy, promising to reinvent open-world gaming with MindsEye and its connected platform Everywhere.

🎮 MindsEye is expected to be part of Everywhere, a larger metaverse-like experience that blends game creation tools, social interaction, and high-end storytelling.

🔥 Why It Matters

The leak confirms what many had hoped: MindsEye could be the first serious competitor to GTA in a decade — and possibly something even more ambitious. With its mix of freedom, tech, and narrative depth, it’s already one of the most-watched titles in development.

📆 No official release date has been confirmed yet, but with leaks surfacing, a formal reveal may be on the horizon.
