Fresh industry rumors suggest that Build a Rocket Boy might be working on a sequel to their controversial action-adventure title MindsEye, despite the game's catastrophic debut earlier this month. The original title, developed by former Rockstar Games president Leslie Benzies' studio, currently holds some of the year's worst review scores across gaming platforms.

When Leslie Benzies departed from Rockstar Games, fans of the Grand Theft Auto series eagerly anticipated his next project. The 2022 Gamescom reveal of MindsEye generated excitement as a potential GTA competitor. However, the recent Steam launch proved disastrous, with players reporting game-breaking bugs, performance issues, and disappointing frame rates on modern consoles - overshadowing its praised driving mechanics and narrative elements.

Spanish gaming YouTuber BaityBait recently claimed that Build a Rocket Boy plans to release MindsEye 2 as a multiplayer-focused title in 2026. However, given the original game's reception - currently holding the dubious distinction of being 2025's worst-reviewed title - industry analysts question whether these sequel plans remain viable. The studio has already committed to adding multiplayer to the original MindsEye through post-launch updates.

The rumor mill also suggests Build a Rocket Boy is developing a separate game based on a popular television IP. While unconfirmed, these plans may have been significantly altered following MindsEye's poor performance. Until official announcements emerge, gamers should treat these sequel rumors with healthy skepticism.
