IO Interactive has announced they’ve ended the publishing collaboration with Build a Rocket Boy on their ambitious adventure game MindsEye.

With the decision to end publishing on MindsEye, IO Interactive has reverted the rights to publish the game to developer Build a Rocket Boy. The previously announced Hitman collaboration content isn’t happening now.

MindsEye was launched back in June 2025 across Windows PC (via Steam), Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.

Here’s the full message from IO Interactive:

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.
