Sony’s first State of Play presentation of the year brought news for fans of classic gaming. Yacht Club Games, the studio behind the beloved Shovel Knight, provided a fresh update on its next project, Mina the Hollower. The game is now scheduled for release sometime this spring. This announcement comes after a delay from its original planned launch date. The developer had initially targeted a Halloween release last year but decided to push back to allow more time for final polish and balancing. The goal is to ensure the game meets the studio’s high standards. While the full game missed its spooky season debut, a new playable demo is arriving with its own perfectly timed, eerie flair. This limited-time demo will become available on PlayStation 5 starting Friday, February 13. The date, Friday the 13th, is a fittingly creepy backdrop for a demo of this gothic-inspired adventure. Mina the Hollower is a retro-style action-adventure platformer that evokes the feel of classic Game Boy Color titles. Players take on the role of Mina, a Hollower who can burrow through the ground. The game promises tense combat, deep exploration, and a charming pixel-art world filled with mystery.
