Build a Rocket Boy’s MindsEye studio appears to be shutting down permanently, with multiple employees telling outlets that their roles are ending. Kotaku reports that sources confirm the studio is winding down for good following a new round of layoffs.
Polygon similarly describes the closure as likely, citing the same layoff round and noting the studio’s timeline since the release of MindsEye, a third-person action game. Both reports link the current move to the recent workforce reductions. Polygon frames the shutdown as occurring more than a year after the game’s release, describing that launch as disastrous. Kotaku focuses more directly on the confirmation of a full wind-down, while Polygon emphasizes the broader context of the game’s performance and the period since launch.
Together, the sources indicate the studio is ending operations after layoffs, but they differ slightly in how much emphasis they place on the game’s launch outcome versus the immediate confirmation of closure.
