So, what can fans expect from the game? Here's what Yacht Club has to say:

Descend into a frightful world of action-adventure as Mina, a renowned Hollower, on a desperate mission to rescue a cursed island. Burrow beneath hazards and monsters, whip foes into oblivion, and gear up with an arsenal of sidearms and trinkets. Explore a vast world filled with pixel-perfect graphics, masterful gameplay, beastly bosses and infectious music. Encounter a cast of bizarre characters, search out secrets and illuminate the omnipresent darkness in this brand-new game from the developers who brought you Shovel Knight.

If you're interested in trying the game prior to launch, there's a demo available right now in the eShop. Will you be giving Mina the Hollower a play this fall? Why not let us know on social media.
