IO Interactive announced it has ended its publishing collaboration with developer Build A Rocket Boy’s MindsEye and the Hitman cross-over event within MindsEye has been cancelled.
Build A Rocket Boy now has the sole publishing responsibilities for MindsEye.
“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,” said IO Interactive. “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 released for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store in June 2025.
