Mina the Hollower, the new game from Yacht Club Games, has received a release date. A mix of 2D The Legend of Zelda with Bloodborne and 2D platforming elements, it has captivated everyone who has been able to play its demo, both at events and during the limited time it was available on Steam.
JesA game that has gone through several bumps
Its development, on the other hand, has been fraught with problems. Announced in 2022 with a release date set for 2023, it was later postponed until 2025. As its release date approached, it was delayed again until, a little over six months later, it has finally received a definitive release date. Mina the Hollower will officially launch exclusively for PC on May 29.
This is a very important game for Yacht Club Games not only because it is their first game since Shovel Knight Dig, released in 2022, and their first game that is not part of the Shovel Knight franchise, but also due to their economic situation. The studio has stated that if it does not meet sales expectations, they will have to close their doors and stop making video games. But given the anticipation surrounding Mina the Hollower and the announced price of a tight 20 euros, it is expected to be an immediate success that keeps Yacht Club Games afloat for years to come.
