IO Interactive ends MindsEye publishing collaboration
Build A Rocket Boy to assume publishing responsibilities going forward.
IO Interactive has announced the conclusion of its publishing collaboration with developer Build A Rocket Boy on single-player action adventure game MindsEye, with Build A Rocket Boy assuming sole publishing responsibilities going forward. The previously planned Hitman cross-over event within MindsEye will no longer be released.
Here are the details:
IOI Partners’ involvement with MindsEye comes to an end, except for any essential transitional functions required to transfer publisher-of-record status to Build A Rocket Boy. Build A Rocket Boy will assume sole publishing responsibilities going forward, ensuring continuity for the MindsEye community and all partners. IOI Partners and BARB are coordinating closely to ensure a seamless transition over the coming weeks.
In light of this separation, the Hitman mission announced in June 2025, planned as a crossover event within MindsEye, will no longer be released. However, BARB plans on working with partners on other projects in the future. Both IOI Partners and Build A Rocket Boy recognize the anticipation this collaboration generated among the community and express their appreciation for the support shown by the players.
MindsEye launched for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store on June 10, 2025 to less than favorable reception.
