"Mina the Hollower has been a long time coming, having been announced way back in February of 2022. It was revealed during a livestream, and the subsequent Kickstarter raised $1.2m to help develop the game."
"Despite how much money the team brought in from Shovel Knight, they're now in trouble, publicly stating that if Mina the Hollower doesn't sell well, Yacht Club could shut down. Speaking to Bloomberg last year, Yacht Club Games' co-founder and studio head Sean Velasco said, "It's make-or-break for sure,""
""If we sold 500,000 copies, then we would be golden. If we sold even 200,000, that would be really, really great. If we sold, like, 100,000, that's not so good.""
"The good news is that Mina the Hollowe looks pretty awesome, so hopefully it will sell well."
Mina the Hollower is scheduled to release on 29 May for PlayStation, Switch, Xbox, and PC, priced at $19.99. The game was announced in February 2022 and development received support through a Kickstarter that raised $1.2 million. Yacht Club Games has warned that the project is financially make-or-break, stating that sales targets determine whether the studio can continue operating. The company’s attempts to spin off from Shovel Knight have not performed as hoped, and delays have extended development and consumed funds. Despite these pressures, the game’s presentation is described as impressive, suggesting strong potential for sales.
