Announcement trailer (June 2024)
The first Mina the Hollower trailer debuted at State of Play in June 2024. It opens with a slow pan across Tenebris Island's Gothic architecture — crumbling cathedrals, overgrown courtyards, and fog-shrouded cliffs. The music swells as Mina steps into frame, cracks her whip, and burrows into the ground. The trailer ends with the release window: 'Coming 2026.'
Gameplay trailer (August 2024)
The Mina the Hollower gameplay trailer premiered at the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase. Unlike the announcement trailer's cinematic approach, this was raw gameplay footage with HUD elements visible. It showed 4 minutes of uninterrupted gameplay in the Whispering Grove, including the full Grimwarden boss fight. The trailer demonstrated the whip tip-contact sweet spot mechanic, sub-weapon swapping, and the stamina management system.
Burrow deep dive (October 2024)
- Part of Yacht Club Games' own 'Yacht Club Games Presents' showcase.
- 8-minute developer commentary video explaining the burrow system in detail.
- Showed burrow combat, traversal, and secret room discovery.
- Demonstrated chain burrowing technique for speed movement.
- Revealed that certain areas are only accessible while burrowed.
Launch trailer (May 2026)
The final Mina the Hollower launch trailer released on May 26, 2026, two days before launch. It is a rapid-fire montage showing all six biomes, all boss encounters, and snippets of Jake Kaufman's soundtrack. The trailer emphasizes the game's variety — dark catacombs, lush forests, crystalline caves, and a corrupted castle. The launch trailer ends with the final release date: 'May 28, 2026 on Steam.'
