In a move that has surprised—and excited—fans, Build A Rocket Boy has officially announced a collaboration between MindsEye and the Hitman franchise, confirming that Agent 47 will appear as a playable character in a post-launch mission.
The news dropped during Summer Game Fest, where the latest MindsEye launch trailer ended with a major reveal: Agent 47 calmly steps into frame, hinting at a stealth-heavy mission coming soon. According to the developer, “Agent 47 will feature as a playable character in a post-launch mission designed by the team,” with a release window set for July 2025.
🎮 Why This Collaboration Works
While the crossover may seem unexpected at first glance, both MindsEye and Hitman are published by IO Interactive, making this a logical and synergistic move. It not only draws attention to MindsEye but also taps into the global recognition of Agent 47 to support the launch of a new IP.
🚀 A High-Stakes Debut
MindsEye, set to launch on June 10, is the first major release from former Rockstar North president Leslie Benzies following his departure from the Grand Theft Auto series. Benzies serves as game director, and his reputation has helped fuel significant anticipation around the project.
With a blend of narrative-driven missions and blockbuster cinematic action, MindsEye is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about releases of the year. Adding Agent 47 only boosts its profile.
🔥 What to Expect
While details of the post-launch mission are still under wraps, players can expect a stealth-infused experience worthy of the Hitman legacy. Unique mechanics, a new narrative arc, and likely unlockable content exclusive to the mission are just some of the things fans are speculating about.
Stay tuned as more updates emerge post-launch. For now, mark your calendars: MindsEye launches June 10, and Agent 47 joins the mission this July.
