Yacht Club Games’ Mina The Hollower will appear as the first guest character in Rivals of Aether II, with Rivals creator Dan Fornace confirming the DLC is slated to arrive in 2027.
The announcement follows the 2024 PC launch of Rivals of Aether II and a developer roadmap that also lists console ports targeted for 2028.
Mina The Hollower, developed by Yacht Club Games, has become a prominent indie release from the studio.
Dan Fornace, creator of the Rivals of Aether series, confirmed Mina will be the first crossover fighter to join Rivals of Aether II’s roster and is scheduled to release as downloadable content in 2027.
No additional character details, move sets, or release windows beyond the year were provided in the developer’s statement.
Rivals of Aether II debuted on PC in 2024 and marked a visual and technical shift for the series.
The sequel moves away from the pixel-art presentation of the original game, adopting 3D graphics while retaining the platform-brawler mechanics that drew comparisons to Nintendo’s Smash-style fighters.
According to the game’s public roadmap, documented by the developer, console versions are planned for 2028, though specific platforms and dates have not been confirmed.
The original Rivals of Aether established itself as an indie platform fighter with a focus on elemental-themed characters and competitive play, and it later became available on Nintendo’s eShop.
That history makes Mina’s inclusion notable: Yacht Club Games’ action-adventure protagonist will be crossing into a competitive brawler environment developed by Dan Fornace and his team.
All dates and platform plans referenced here reflect information released by the Rivals of Aether II development team and the publicly posted roadmap.
Further details about Mina’s kit in Rivals of Aether II, precise DLC timing, and which consoles will receive the 2028 ports have not yet been published by the developers.
Readers looking for updates should monitor official Rivals of Aether channels and Nintendo announcements such as Nintendo Directs for confirmed release windows and platform listings.
