Mina the Hollower confirmed for Rivals of Aether II

gamingJun 27, 2026221,259

Mina the Hollower was revealed at EVO 2026 as the first guest fighter for Rivals of Aether II, slated to arrive in 2027, and the trailer sent fans straight into play-by-play mode. Creators are zeroing in on Mina's signature Shield Lob and how her moveset will translate into the fighting game, while others clipped the teaser's vague wording about her joining. Meanwhile streams and posts about finishing Mina's game, from rolling credits on the finale that asks whether Mina will save the island of Tenebris or doom it, to a player posting a 100% completion and another claiming a 1:04:53 Any% deathless personal best, have fueled celebratory art and speculations about which endings and boss moments will influence her Rivals incarnation.

I’m praying to every god in the universe that one of these fucking fighters has a Thorne costume.

Rivals is like smash but solely for furries And Shovel Knight

honestly its cool that if they were gonna collab with yacht club again they pick a different character rather than shovel knight again (plus mina fits the universe a lot better)

The actual trailer makes it pretty unambiguous. bsky.app/profile/riva...

Y’know what? Yeah, that’s a perfect fit Shovel Knight was already in the first, but Mina fits even better into this world of animal characters, that rocks

Writing was on the wall here, but honestly I'm much more interested in Mina being in this than Shovel Knight in the original, because if you didn't know any better you'd think Mina was just a character that belongs in this setting.

Current plan is to stream more Mina the Hollower tomorrow at noon CST. It's likely to be the finale, unless something absurd happens. I've had a great time with it the whole way through so far, so I'm about equal parts sad and excited to be nearing the ending.

finally got a chance to play Mina the Hollower and wowowow what a good little game “links awakening but bloodborne”, a great soundtrack, and just some really clever level design. yacht club games once again shows mastery in modernizing what people like about “retro games”

I thought the 4-minute PBs were over but apparently I thought wrong...... New Mina the Hollower Any% (Restricted) PB/WR, 1:04:53 :) And my first deathless run!

Credits roll in Mina the Hollower, showing a final in-game time of 1:05:29; meanwhile final speedrun splits at the bottom show a final real time of 1:04:53

There we go!! 100%’d Mina the Hollower!! Seriously what a fun as hell game. It kicked my ass half of the time while playing it, but I found myself having so much fun despite the difficulties. Yacht Club seriously cooked on this one and I’m glad I finally got my hands on it :3!!!

Been playing some Shovel knight today and I really loved Mina The Hollower and think the game is incredible. But Shovel Knight might be the better game just based off memorable characters and bosses.
