8-bit action adventure game Mina the Hollower will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam this spring, developer Yacht Club Games announced. A limited-time demo will be available for PlayStation 5 from February 13 to 27.
“We spent many years carefully building Mina the Hollower,” said game director Sean Velasco in a press release. “It took longer than we expected and demanded everything from our team, but we kept refining it until it felt right. Now we are excited to finally share it with players everywhere, and we truly hope you will enjoy it.”
The limited-time demo features the game’s opening stage and concludes with the first major boss fight. Progress made in the demo will carry over to the full game at launch.
