Yacht Club Games has confirmed a release window for Mina the Hollower, which is coming to both Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch.
The developer has stated that it “will announce the exact release date once all console submissions are complete and the launch is fully locked in.”

With a vast world to explore, you can expect “pixel-perfect graphics, masterful gameplay, beastly bosses, and infectious music.”
Director Sean Velasco adds: “We spent many years carefully building Mina the Hollower.
