MindsEye’s salvaged Hitman DLC cuts Agent 47, and seemingly a good chunk of its staff, too

Build A Rocket Boy (BARB), the studio behind last year's spectacular catastrophe MindsEye, has apparently gone through yet another round of layoffs, this time cutting senior and other staff. This comes in the wake of the game's ill-fated Hitman collaboration DLC, which was apparently released anyway but without Agent 47's shiny head and barcode.

The DLC, now called Blacklisted, was very obviously meant to be something straight out of the Hitman franchise. It is essentially a standalone mission where, instead of 47, you control Julia Black (should've called her Jane Mindseye), who is on a business visit to Redrock City and aiming to take out two crucial targets. The way the opening sequence plays out and how your target is presented and described by what was almost certainly supposed to be 47's main handler, Diana Burnwood, clearly shows that this was, at some point, a crossover between MindsEye and Hitman.
