Reports suggest developer Build a Rocket Boy is preparing to separate from publisher IO Interactive as it looks to address the poor reception of MindsEye following its rocky 2025 launch. The move, first circulated by Insider Gaming, also reportedly coincides with the cancellation of a planned Hitman crossover tied to the title.

  • Insider Gaming claims Build a Rocket Boy will announce a split from IO Interactive, which had handled publishing duties.
  • The developer is said to be focusing on substantial fixes and changes aimed at salvaging MindsEye after its critical and commercial struggles last year.
  • A previously teased crossover with IO Interactive’s Hitman franchise is reported to have been scrapped amid the fallout.
  • Details on the exact nature of the separation, ownership of the IP, or timelines for any major updates have not been confirmed publicly.

Fans and industry watchers will be looking for an official statement from either Build a Rocket Boy or IO Interactive to verify the report and outline next steps for the game. Until then, the future of MindsEye and any planned collaborations remains unclear.
