Former GTA producer's new gaming platform gets a trailer. Almost Roblox

Studio Build A Rocket Boy has released a trailer for the Everywhere platform, timed to the upcoming testing.

The company is headed by Leslie Benzies, previously a producer of numerous installments in Grand Theft Auto, Manhunt, Red Dead Redemption, Max Payne 3, and others. In the new project, the developer is bringing to life a vision of the future of gaming, in which the market will be dominated by large metaverses that allow players not only to play, but also to create—like Fortnite and Roblox.

On the official website, you can register an account and receive an invitation to the closed alpha testing, which will kick off soon.

During the announcement at Gamescom Opening Night Live in August 2022, a release in late 2023 was mentioned, but that seems unlikely given that the game is only in the alpha stage. 

The first details about the developers' plans emerged in March. A comparison to Roblox is probably the most fitting, but the goal will be to create more sophisticated games. This is evidenced by the MindsEye project, which serves as a showcase for the venture. It is an open-world action title, as well as a “fast-paced, AAA story-driven game set in a world of futuristic corporations.” Everywhere will also be a standalone game with a central hub called Utropia and several “biomes” surrounding it. Players will visit various “districts” providing diverse opportunities for gameplay and content creation. For example, the “combat district” will feature plenty of shootouts, while the “racing district” will offer challenges for car and speed enthusiasts.

In addition, there is a toolkit for building your own projects called ARC-adia. Upon entering one of the districts, players will be able not only to use ready-made projects, but also to create their own and publish them online. It will also be possible to sell small game slices or individual assets.
