Mina the Hollower Joins Rivals of Aether 2 Next Year!

Hey gamers! Exciting news is on the horizon for fighting game enthusiasts as Mina the Hollower is set to make her debut in Rivals of Aether 2 next year! This game has been making waves in the Smash Bros.-style arena on Steam, and it looks like it’s gearing up to get even better.

Unlike its predecessor, which featured guest characters like the beloved Shovel Knight, Rivals of Aether 2 has held off on bringing in any new faces—until now. During the recent EVO event, a teaser was dropped, hinting that Mina will be joining the fray. While the teaser didn’t give away too much detail about her abilities, we know she’ll be playable sometime in 2027, joining an eclectic mix of characters, including a rather eye-catching shark man!

But that’s not all! Aether Studios also took advantage of the EVO weekend to announce enhanced modding tools, allowing players to create their own custom fighters in Rivals of Aether 2. Plus, there’s another new character on the way, set to launch much sooner on August 4. Meet Gouie, a quirky, gooey, orb-shaped platypus who swallows his opponents and hurls parts of his slimy body at them. His voice is a mix of charming innocence and deep growls, making him a lovable character with a bit of a twisted edge!

Yacht Club Games has been celebrating the success of Mina the Hollower, which has been well-received and selling like hotcakes. After facing uncertainty about its reception, the game has turned out to be a stunning blend of intense combat and gorgeous visuals, earning rave reviews.

With these updates, Rivals of Aether 2 is definitely one to keep an eye on. Whether you’re a fan of Mina or just love a good brawl, the future looks bright for this indie fighting gem!
