Shovel Knight Creator’s New IP Delayed From Halloween Release Date

by

When you think of Halloween, you think of “trick or treat.” I was really excited to play *Mina the Hollower*, the new game from the creators of *Shovel Knight* (Yacht Club Games), when it came out on Halloween. But it looks like I’m getting a disappointing surprise instead of a treat.

Yacht Club Games announced on their website that Mina the Hollower will be delayed past its original Halloween release date of October 31st.

The team has been working tirelessly to finish the game on schedule, but they’ve decided it needs a bit more polish before release. They’ve removed the original release date from the Steam store page and changed it to “To be announced.” While they haven’t announced a new date yet, the team assures everyone that the delay won’t be long.

The game needs more time to polish up

Yacht Club Games wanted to be upfront about what still needs to be done before Mina the Hollower is fully completed. This includes finishing the art, sound, and design, as well as fine-tuning the game’s balance – it’s designed to feel like a mix of Zelda and Bloodborne. They also need to translate the game into other languages and thoroughly test it on all platforms before release.

The game’s release is being slightly delayed for some final polishing, according to a recent announcement. The developers explained they want to guarantee the game is as good as it can be when it launches, and they’re committed to delivering a fantastic experience. They emphasized that this isn’t just talk – they truly intend to make the game amazing.

Yacht Club Games isn’t ready to announce a new release date just yet. They want to make sure the game is fully finished and approved for all platforms before sharing that information, so they’re asking players to be patient.
