Mina the Hollower, From the Studio Behind Shovel Knight, Arrives on May 29
Yacht Club Games delayed the retro adventure last year to polish it, and the studio says 500,000 copies would make it golden.
- On Wednesday, Yacht Club Games confirmed Mina the Hollower will launch on consoles and PC on May 29, priced at $20.

- The bar for indie success has risen significantly since Shovel Knight launched in 2014, and even exceptional titles struggle to break through in 2026.
