Shovel Knight Developer Reveals New Zelda Inspired Game

Shovel Knight developer Yacht Club Games has pulled back the curtain on its next internally-developed game, Mina the Hollower. Revealed during a special G4 Twitch stream, Yacht Club Games cites the Game Boy Color as a major influence on the new title. In particular, Mina the Hollower has been inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. While the Game Boy Color is currently experiencing something of a renaissance thanks to the Analogue Pocket, a version for the system is not planned. However, the title has been confirmed for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox.

We’re so excited to finally reveal Mina the Hollower! It is a bone-chilling action adventure featuring classic gameplay & an 8-bit aesthetic in the style of the GBC, but refined for the modern era. The Kickstarter is LIVE right now! For more info, visit: https://t.co/sg5GIBO2Pc pic.twitter.com/abAkeTfDBa
