The Art of Cuphead Delicious Last Course

We want to give you a heads up about The Art of Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course, which is brand new for the game’s DLC. Dark Horse just published the book this week and it went a bit under the radar.

The Art of Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course is filled to the brim with behind-the-scenes content for the DLC. Fans will find early concepts, production work, and unused ideas. The book has nearly 300 pages pour over.

Cuphead and Mugman Nendoroids

Good Smile has shared some news about its Cuphead and Mugman Nendoroids, including a release date, new photos, and pre-orders.

These figures were initially revealed last July with a concept images. Both designs were finalized a few months later in November as part of WonHobby Gallery 2022.

Cuphead health bars

Something that Cuphead fans may notice about the game is that there aren’t any health bars. While battling bosses, some may find it difficult to determine how close they are to being defeated.

Co-director Chad Moldenhauer explained why Studio MDHR opted for this approach in a recent issue of EDGE. It sounds like the developer considered implementing health bars in Cuphead while working on early mockups, but having them in would take away the feeling of playing an actual cartoon from the 1930s. Additionally, there was some concern that there would be a focus on DPS and potentially missing key visual clues.

Studio MDHR is continuing to slowly share details about the physical release of Cuphead on Switch, and we now know that The Delicious Last Course DLC will be included. We also have a look at the boxart above.

Cuphead was confirmed for physical release back in 2019, but Studio MDHR was waiting to wrap up The Delicious Last Course before turning its attention to the boxed version. The developer also reconfirmed to us this summer that the physical edition was still in the cards.

Another update has gone out for Cuphead, with Switch owners now having access to version 1.3.4.

This is a small quality of life patch that addresses a few more bugs for The Delicious Last Course DLC. Additionally, players now have the option to swap back and forth between the new title screen and the original title screen, which includes a change in the song that will play when you boot up the game.
