After going gold late last month, Mina the Hollower finally has a PS5 release date: 29th May. The hotly anticipated GBC-style action adventure will cost just $19.99.
Yacht Club Games has been working on this one for what feels like an eternity, after it was officially announced back in 2022.
The title’s gone through a series of delays since, but finally came together towards the back-end of last year. Surprisingly, the Shovel Knight dev said its studio may live or die based on the success of the game – but honestly, we think it’s going to be just fine.
Here’s how the press release pitches the game:
“Descend into a frightful world of action-adventure in Mina the Hollower. Take control of Mina, a renowned Hollower hurtled into a desperate mission to rescue a cursed island. Burrow beneath hazards and monsters, whip foes into oblivion, and gear up with an arsenal of sidearms and trinkets.
Explore a vast world filled with pixel-perfect graphics, masterful gameplay, beastly bosses, and infectious music. Encounter a cast of bizarre characters, search out secrets in an array of exotic locales, and illuminate the omnipresent darkness in Mina the Hollower, a brand new game from the developers who brought you Shovel Knight!”
Earlier this year there was a timed demo on the PS Store which was excellent, but that’s no longer available to download and play. We suppose it’s possible the dev releases another permanent demo closer to release, and we’ll update you if that turns out to be the case.
There’s really not much more to add to this story right now, though, is there? Mina the Hollower finally has a release date, and we can’t wait.
