A new rumor has emerged suggesting that MindsEye developer Build A Rocket Boy could be working on a brand-new game based on an unspecified, but popular, TV series. MindsEye was Build A Rocket Boy's debut title, launching on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on June 10.
Though boasting an impressive pedigree in the form of involvement from former Grand Theft Auto 3 lead developer Leslie Benzies, MindsEye has launched to negative reviews from players and critics alike. The game's numerous bugs and technical issues have soured many players' first impressions, with complaints calling the game "rushed" and "unpolished." And though Build A Rocket Boy has detailed a series of updates promising to rectify the game's technical and performance problems, there's no doubt that the game's launch difficulties have had an impact on the studio's reputation.
MindsEye Has Just Achieved an Unfortunate Record
MindsEye, the controversial first game from Build a Rocket Boy, has just achieved an unfortunate record following its disastrous launch.
The shadow of MindsEye's launch also loomed over a new rumor spread by Spanish-language YouTuber Baitybait concerning what might be Build A Rocket Boy's next project. According to comments from Baitybait translated by Reddit user cortez0498, Build A Rocket Boy has an unannounced "secret project" in development involving a "very powerful" license for a well-known TV series. The rumors didn't specify which TV series the studio is involved with, but Baitybait claimed that the rumor was drawn from sources within Build A Rocket Boy itself.
Rumored TV Series Game Adaptation By MindsEye Studio Prompts Speculation
Since the rumor didn't specify which show or IP would be adapted into game form by Build A Rocket Boy, players immediately began discussing which popular shows might make for a good game. One commenter suggested that Build A Rocket Boy might be working on a game based on an Amazon-owned show like The Boys, citing the studio and MindsEye's connection to Hitman studio IO Interactive, which also happens to be developing a licensed James Bond game. Since the James Bond license is owned by Amazon, that shared connection might've opened up other Amazon-owned properties for a game adaptation.
Others wondered if the lukewarm reception to MindsEye in the wake of its launch might be making IP holders "nervous." They said that if MindsEye proves to be a commercial flop, Build A Rocket Boy's ability to work on another large-scale project might be in doubt. Some responded to the concern by pointing out that MindsEye has sold well despite the negative reviews so far, which could keep the studio on solid footing. Other commenters made more humorous suggestions for game adaptations, calling on Build A Rocket Boy to get to work adapting Frasier, Young Sheldon, or Breaking Bad into game form by adding driving and shooting mechanics.
