MindsEye Updates Slowing Down, Hitman Crossover Delayed

Developers at Build A Rocket Boy, creators of the beleaguered title *MindsEye*—currently holding the lowest Metacritic score of 2025—have issued a fresh update on planned fixes and content. Notably, one highly anticipated feature has been shelved indefinitely: a crossover collaboration with Hitman’s Agent 47, previously slated for July release.

In an official post, the studio stated, “We regret to inform players that the Hitman x MindsEye collaboration mission will no longer arrive in July, as originally intended.” No revised timeline was offered, leaving remaining fans in limbo regarding future additions. Meanwhile, the team acknowledged that patches may slow due to staffing reductions, signaling challenges ahead for stabilizing the game.

*MindsEye*’s turbulent journey began months prior to its disastrous launch, marred by unfavorable previews, leaked footage highlighting performance issues, and executive departures. Post-release, PlayStation users were granted refunds amid widespread complaints about bugs, while studio leadership controversially blamed internal and external “saboteurs” for the title’s shortcomings.

While recent updates have marginally improved stability, critiques of shallow mechanics and uninspired storytelling persist. Comparisons to *Cyberpunk 2077*’s recovery are tenuous; unlike CD Projekt RED, Build A Rocket Boy lacks the financial cushion or established IP advantage to weather prolonged setbacks. With its reputation and resources strained, the studio’s ability to execute a turnaround remains uncertain.

Whether *MindsEye* can evolve beyond its rocky debut hinges on Build A Rocket Boy’s survival—a precarious prospect given dwindling funds and tepid player engagement. The road ahead appears fraught as the team scrambles to salvage a project that has yet to find its footing.
