It looks like MindsEye is trying to turn things around after a pretty rocky start last year. The developer, Build a Rocket Boy, is aiming for a redemption arc similar to what we saw with Cyberpunk 2077.

After its less-than-stellar launch, the team behind MindsEye has had a tough time. They've had to make some difficult decisions, including laying off staff members. CEO Mark Gerhard even pointed fingers at internal issues that he believes contributed to the game's initial failure. It's a tough situation, but they're not giving up.

What's New?
The recent update aims to improve player experience significantly. Here are some of the highlights:

• Enhanced gameplay mechanics
• Bug fixes and performance improvements
• New content to keep players engaged

On top of that, they've also cut the price of the game, which should make it more appealing to new players who might have been hesitant due to the earlier reviews.

Today's update features a new mission where you play as a world-class assassin known as Julia Black. She's tasked with taking down a network of criminals who are tearing apart a company both internally and externally. Needless to say, the subtext here is on the nose. The mission is quite brief and was initially designed as a crossover with Hitman, before MindsEye publisher IO Interactive pulled out. So, you'll notice a lot of similarities in how the mission is designed. It's fairly open-ended, has different targets to take down, and can be completed in under an hour.

Announcing the release of the update, Gerhard noted Blacklist is just the beginning of the future of MindsEye, and insisted BARB plans to "expand" the game down the road.

"Blacklisted marks the first new story campaign for MindsEye since launch, and we're excited to welcome players back to Redrock City to experience it in a new way," said Gerhard. "Rather than traditional DLC, Blacklisted is delivered through our user-generated content platform Arcadia, which is built into MindsEye.

"Now is the perfect time to experience MindsEye, with over a year of enhancements, new content, and a more accessible price of entry. We look forward to continuing to expand MindsEye and Arcadia, and seeing what players and creators will accomplish next."
