Yacht Club Games released the official launch trailer for Mina the Hollower, confirming the game arrives on May 29, 2026 [1].
The release marks a significant expansion for the studio, known for the Shovel Knight series, as it moves into a new action-adventure style. The launch targets a wide audience by supporting multiple hardware generations and digital storefronts.
The title is available for $19.99 [2]. It launches on the Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S [3]. PC players can access the game via Steam, the Humble Store, and GOG [3]. While some reports suggested availability on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, official trailer descriptions prioritize current-gen platforms [3].
This launch follows a development period that included a six-month delay [4]. The game features eight-bit action-adventure gameplay, a signature aesthetic for the developer. The official trailer showcases the core mechanics and the world players will explore upon release.
By launching on the Nintendo Switch 2 alongside the original Switch, the developer is positioning the game to bridge the gap between hardware cycles. The pricing strategy reflects a mid-tier indie valuation, aiming for accessibility across the listed platforms [2].
