MindsEye x Hitman Collab Debuts At Summer Game Fest 2025
Build A Rocket Boy and IOI Partners dropped an all-new trailer for MindsEye during Summer Game Fest 2025, crossing over into the Hitman world. The trailer surprised fans with Agent 47 from IO Interactive's Hitman franchise. Agent 47 will be a future playable character in MindsEye for a specific mission. But IOI also revealed the fan-favourite villain from the 2006 film Casino Royale, Le Chiffre, will be an Elusive Target in Hitman World of Assassination as of today. The special Elusive Target mission will be available for one month.
The new MindsEye trailer showcases the game's stunning near-future world, explosive action-packed combat, and the compelling journey of Jacob Diaz—a former soldier whose neural implant may hold the key to a global conspiracy involving rogue AI, corporate corruption, and humanity's survival.
The Danish actor portraying Le Chiffre, Mads Mikkelsen, came out to talk about the collaboration with MindsEye and Hitman. 'Le Chiffre is a character I have always enjoyed—he's calculating, cold, and ruthless,' said Mads Mikkelsen. 'Bringing him into the world of Hitman makes for a thrilling collaboration. Players can expect mind games, high stakes, and twists that only this character could orchestrate. To succeed, they'll need to play their hand wisely,' Mikkelsen stated.
The MindsEye x Hitman mission is the first collaboration announced, and part of the long-term content roadmap already planned following MindsEye's launch. In addition to the scripted campaign, MindsEye will be an ever-expanding player experience, with new studio-created premium content delivered monthly, thanks to the power of BARB's Game Creation System.
Mads Mikkelsen returns as Le Chiffre, the iconic private banker to the criminal underworld, known for his mastery of games of chance and probability. A recent failed venture left him in dire straits, losing vast sums of both legitimate and illicit capital, and in a desperate bid to recover, he has arranged a high-stakes poker game at the Casino Monarchique in Paris. Agent 47 has been tasked with infiltrating the perilous event and will have to find his way to his target to prevent havoc being wreaked across the world.
To celebrate the recent reveal of 007 First Light, players who play The Banker Elusive Target and who have signed up for an IOI account will receive an exclusive suit to redeem in 007 First Light. MindsEye launches on June 10, 2025, and is available for pre-order now (which includes a free upgrade to the Deluxe Edition). Pre-orders for MindsEye are available now.

‘MindsEye' is more than the worst game of the year
'MindsEye' is more than an embarrassment of the video games medium; it is actively hostile toward the audience's desire for entertainment. It shames you for playing it, but the onus of guilt belongs to all involved with it. It deserves every bit of its scornful reputation as not just the worst game of 2025, but among the worst games in history.

Actor Glen Powell surprises Texas Longhorns walk-on linebacker with scholarship
Actor Glen Powell hands out Longhorns scholarship to walk-on linebacker Hard work pays @marshlandwehr, you're now on scholarship! 🤘Special thanks to @glenpowell for the assist!#ChadPowers premieres Sept 30 only on Hulu It is always cool when a walk-on gets presented with a scholarship. It is great when the coach awards the scholarship at an all-team meeting. It is amazing when a famous actor and alum assists. That's what happened to Texas Linebacker Marshall Landwehr, as he got a full ride presented by Texas coach Steve Sarkisian and actor Glen Powell. After starting a team meeting, Sark told the team they had a video first. Glen Powell, famous for Top Gun: Maverick, Twisters and Hitman, popped up on the big screen. Powell has also been making Chad Powers, about a football imposter created by Arch Manning's uncle Eli. "What's up Longhorns? It's Glen Powell, fellow Texas alum. I have new found respect for what it takes to join a football team. It takes grit. It takes grind. And most importantly, it takes heart. Marshall, your hard work has not gone unnoticed. That's why Texas is giving you a scholarship." - Texas Ex Glen Powell After the message, the team absolutely erupted and mobbed Landwehr at his seat in the meeting room. Finally, the Highland Park native hugged his coach. "When we talk about everybody in this room has a role in the organization, this is the epitome of that dude. I couldn't be more fired up for you man. Congratulations!" -- Texas coach Steve Sarkisian Ironically, Landwehr and Michael Taaffe are the only players left on the roster from the 5-7 2021 Longhorns team. Both were walk-ons. Taaffe got his scholarship in 2022 just before the Alamo Bowl. Now Lendwehr joines him just in time for his senior year. Follow us on X/Twitter at @LonghornsWire.
