What is MindsEye about?
As the trailer and new stills revealed, MindsEye features GTA-like gameplay elements in a near-future desert metropolis.

The trailer also introduces Redrock mayor Shiva Vega, who's depicted as a power-hungry politician. Protagonist Jacob Diaz, who's described to have a mysterious past, is featured in the trailer, and it looks like his quest will see him face both the government and big tech companies, leading him to learn the tenuous relationship between these two major powers of Redrock City.
MindsEye game is described as "a story-driven, action-adventure thriller, set in a fictional near future Americana” and featuring “best-in-class cinematics, high-octane driving, and explosive combat”.
