Yacht Club Saved! Mina the Hollower a Massive Hit!
0
Seriously, this is amazing news for one of the best indie studios out there. Yacht Club Games, the legends behind Shovel Knight, were apparently in a pretty dire financial spot, with their new game Mina the Hollower being a make-or-break moment for them. They were hoping for maybe 200,000 sales to be "really great" and anything less would have been bad. But get this: Mina the Hollower absolutely crushed it, selling over 500,000 copies in just a few weeks! This huge success has basically saved the studio, ensuring they stay afloat "for now" and can even push out more updates for Mina and work on a new 3D game. It's such a relief to see a quality developer pull through under immense pressure; it just goes to show that good games still get recognized and rewarded.
