Update []:
During the PlayStation ‘State of Play’ broadcast this week, Yacht Club Games revealed Mina the Hollower now has a new release window of Spring 2026.
It also provided a small update via social media, mentioning how once all console submissions were complete it would lock in a date:
“Bringing a game of this scope and density to a state of final polish has taken time, but the end is now in sight. We will announce the exact release date once all console submissions are complete and the launch is fully locked in.”
Alongside this update was the announcement the developer would be releasing a “limited-time PlayStation 5 demo”.
“It includes the opening of the game through the first major boss, and progress carries into the full release. This will be the final public demo so make sure to hollow in!”
This follows news last week, about how the developer had to take to social media to remind fans the estimated release on the eShop was just a “placeholder rate”. You can read more about this in the original story below:
Original Story: [Thu 5th Feb, 2026 06:30 GMT]:
In case you missed the update last October, Yacht Club’s new game Mina the Hollower has been delayed, although it’s not a “major” one.
In saying this, there have been some posts circulating online about the current date listed on the Switch eShop. If you haven’t already noticed in recent months, the title has currently got an “estimated release date” on the storefront of “2030”.
Now, while game development cycles can sometimes take an incredibly long time (we’re looking at you, Metroid Prime 4), this is not one of those cases. The developer’s communications team has once again taken to social media to clarify (and reassure) fans this week that this is just a “placeholder date”. So, there’s no need to worry!
YachtClubGames: It’s a placeholder date! I wanted to put something ridiculous like 2077 haha. We’ll update it once we finish development.
MiffedScientist: These platforms should just start accepting 20XX as a date for these circumstances.
YachtClubGames: Right? We appreciate you reaching out for clarification though!!!! We’re just as excited to get it into your hands TY for your patience.
So, there’s no specific update about when exactly this Zelda-inspired adventure will arrive on the Switch, Switch 2 and other platforms just yet, but we’ll hopefully be hearing about it at some point in 2026. The team has also been asked about the possibility of a physical release when Mina does arrive, but it all depends on the game’s “success”.
More recently, in December, the Shovel Knight developers described their new title starring Mina as a “make-or-break” scenario for the future of the company.
