Yacht Club Games has announced a brief delay for their upcoming title, Mina the Hollower, which was originally set for release on Halloween. While the studio assures fans that this delay isn’t significant, they have chosen not to provide a new release date until the game has been submitted across all platforms.
The team expressed the difficulty of this decision in a post on their official site, stating, "The entire crew has been working tirelessly day and night to finish development for release on October 31, but we’re just not quite there yet." They also emphasized that this extra time is intended for final polishing and balancing, ensuring the game meets their high standards.
As they work on completion, Yacht Club is focused on various aspects such as design, art, sound, localization, and testing, alongside a quirky note about enjoying cheese during the process. Their goal is to deliver an exceptional gaming adventure.
Mina the Hollower is set to be Yacht Club’s first original franchise since their successful hit, Shovel Knight, released in 2014. The game draws inspiration from classic top-down Zelda titles, featuring a mouse protagonist who operates in a kingdom inhabited by animals. The titular character can burrow underground to navigate puzzles and surprise foes.
For fans eagerly awaiting Mina’s debut, the delay has instilled a mix of anticipation and understanding, as Yacht Club prioritizes quality over schedule.
