The MindsEye comeback has begun, with developer Build a Rocket Boy seemingly hoping for a Cyberpunk 2077-level redemption story.
Since MindsEye’s disastrous launch last year, BARB has laid off staff and blamed internal saboteurs for its failure. CEO Mark Gerhard has issued claims of corporate sabotage for some time now, but has yet to provide any proof to the public.
Instead, he had teased an update to MindsEye that would shine more of a light on the matter and name/depict the alleged conspirators in-game. Now, that content is here in the form of the Blacklisted update, which released today alongside a permanent price cut for MindsEye. Starting today, MindsEye costs $34.99 for the Standard Edition and $47.99 for the Deluxe Edition.
Today’s update features a new mission where you play as a world-class assassin known as Julia Black. She’s tasked with taking down a network of criminals who are tearing apart a company both internally and externally. Needless to say, the subtext here is on the nose. The mission is quite brief and was initially designed as a crossover with Hitman, before MindsEye publisher IO Interactive pulled out. So, you’ll notice a lot of similarities in how the mission is designed. It’s fairly open-ended, has different targets to take down, and can be completed in under an hour.
