We’re a little confused.
We thought Mina the Hollower, the new Game Boy Color-inspired adventure from Shovel Knight maker Yacht Club Games, was announced for the PS5 eons ago.
But apparently that’s not the case, because this is new news today. Apparently. Oh, and there’s no PS4 version anymore, so sorry about that.

Anyway, this looks ace, as this latest trailer proves. Clearly, while it’s inspired by the GBC it’s doing things Nintendo’s handheld could only dream of – look at that scene with the giant cylinder. Cor, blimey!
The press release teases a “bone-chilling, yet heartwarming tale inspired by Victorian Gothic horror”. Appropriately, it’ll launch on 31st October.
Here’s the full summary:
“Descend into a frightful world of action-adventure in Mina the Hollower. Take control of Mina, a renowned Hollower hurtled into a desperate mission to rescue a cursed island. Burrow beneath hazards and monsters, whip foes into oblivion, and gear up with an arsenal of sidearms and trinkets. Explore a vast world filled with pixel-perfect graphics, masterful gameplay, beastly bosses, and infectious music. Encounter a cast of bizarre characters, search out secrets in an array of exotic locales, and illuminate the omnipresent darkness in Mina the Hollower, a brand new game from the developers who brought you Shovel Knight!”
With so many games releasing this year we’re finding it difficult to commit to yet another one. But man, this just looks too good, doesn’t it?
