Bloomberg published a new report today delving into issues Yacht Club Games has faced in recent years, and also claims that the studio had been working on a 3D Shovel Knight which it still hopes to release at some point.
There’s a lot covered in the article, but Bloomberg says the company “is facing an existential struggle.” It notes that Yacht Club “has churned through most of its capital, forcing it to downsize and put a planned second project on hold so everyone can focus on Mina the Hollower.” Employees are burnt out and the game’s delay is further impacting finances.

Mina the Hollower has been delayed, which means the game won’t be making its originally planned October 31 launch.
Yacht Club Games said that development “is so close to being done – we’re playing it from start to finish every day.” Currently the team is working on finalizing design, art, and sound, working on overall game balancing, implementing localization, and testing on all platforms. The delay won’t be a major one, but this is ultimately about final polish and balancing.
