Mina The Hollower, The Next Game From The Creators Of Shovel Knight, Launches This Halloween

We first learned about Mina the Hollower, the Game Boy Color-inspired follow-up to Yacht Club Games’ popular Shovel Knight, back in 2022. Now, the studio has finally revealed its release date, and it’s coming this year. More specifically, Mina the Hollower will launch on PC on October 31, AKA Halloween.

Yacht Club revealed this during today’s Summer Game Fest showcase, where it unveiled a world premiere look at Mina the Hollower’s fast-paced, combat-driven gameplay. Alongside the Halloween release date, the team also surprise-launched a limited-time demo that’s available on PC via Steam right now. Plus, the game will be part of Steam Next Fest from Monday, June 9, to Monday, June 16.

The new demo features the game’s opening stage and concludes with the first major boss fight. Progress made in the demo will carry over to the final game when it launches on October 31. In the meantime, watch Game Informer’s exclusive documentary about the making of Mina the Hollower.
