Devolver Delays Dark Scrolls to Avoid Clash With Mina the Hollower
The delay shows Devolver willing to step aside for an indie peer while still courting a head-on collision with a blockbuster like GTA6.
Reporting from 1 sources: Automaton.
Devolver Digital announced on May 20 that the roguelite action game Dark Scrolls, originally set for May 29, will now release on June 22 (June 23 in Japan). The delay is framed as a friendly gesture to avoid competing with Yacht Club Games' Mina the Hollower, which launches May 29. Devolver previously scheduled a game opposite Grand Theft Auto VI.
Devolver Digital and developer doinksoft pushed Dark Scrolls from May 29 to June 22 (June 23 Japan time), citing a desire to play Mina the Hollower on launch day. The delay trailer features Mina herself, and Yacht Club Games responded with a GIF of the mouse character alongside the Dark Scrolls logo. Devolver Japan's X post added a disclaimer that the delay has nothing to do with Mina the Hollower's May 29 release. The move contrasts with Devolver's earlier stunt of scheduling a game opposite Grand Theft Auto VI, a decision the publisher framed as a dare.
