In a surprising turn of events, major gameplay footage from MindsEye — the upcoming open-world action title from Build a Rocket Boy — has leaked online a full month ahead of its official release date. The footage, which includes approximately ten minutes of uninterrupted gameplay, was inadvertently streamed on Twitch by content creator Agent00.
The Leak and What It Shows
The leaked footage offers the clearest look yet at MindsEye’s gameplay loop, showcasing high-speed vehicular chases through a neon-soaked Redrock City, gunfights in gritty industrial corridors, and a cinematic style that closely mirrors the DNA of Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto series. That resemblance isn’t coincidental: MindsEye is being spearheaded by former Rockstar North president Leslie Benzies, known for producing several major GTA entries.
The gameplay is clearly designed with spectacle in mind. Explosions, slow-motion shootouts, and dynamic camera angles give MindsEye a blockbuster feel. A narrative sequence shown in the leak also reveals some of the game’s key characters, complete with voice acting and facial animations — although some fans have pointed out that certain aspects of the presentation feel “last-gen.”
Mixed Reactions from the Community
Fan response has been divided. On one hand, many are praising the game’s ambition and cinematic flair. “It looks like what Cyberpunk 2077 should have been at launch,” one Reddit user commented. On the other hand, criticisms have emerged regarding the quality of the character animations, stilted dialogue, and apparent frame rate drops during intense sequences.
“I love what I’m seeing conceptually,” one YouTube commenter wrote, “but this looks like it still needs another six months in the oven.”
How Did the Leak Happen?
According to multiple sources, Agent00 received early access to the game under embargo but accidentally went live with the footage on Twitch while previewing it for offline content. The stream was quickly deleted, but not before clips were screen-captured and re-uploaded across various platforms, including YouTube and Twitter/X. As of this writing, Build a Rocket Boy has not issued a takedown notice or public statement.
What This Means for the Launch
Despite some controversy, the leak may actually generate more buzz for MindsEye, especially as the gaming industry enters a dry spell with GTA 6 delayed and few other major open-world titles on the immediate horizon. Insiders tell us that Build a Rocket Boy is planning a new trailer or developer diary to counterbalance the leaked material and reaffirm the game’s June 10 release.
Looking Ahead
MindsEye is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing titles of 2025. With a veteran development team and a bold vision that merges sci-fi narrative with open-world chaos, it could either be a breakout success or a cautionary tale of overambition.
For now, fans will be watching closely — and perhaps more skeptically — as the countdown to launch continues.

I am looking forward to seeing more of this, and maybe your review Kyle S(?). Might need to shuffle this somewhere in the queue of my backlog of shame.
