Cuphead - The Delicious Last Course

Studio MDHR provided an update on Cuphead’s Delicious Last Course expansion today. It was originally planned for release later this year, but has now been pushed back to 2020.

Co-director Chad Moldenhauer has since issued a statement about the delay. In addition to having a high-quality product, the move was also done to maintain the team’s health – which is especially important due to how much talk there has been regarding development crunch as of late.

The full statement reads:

As fans know, Cuphead has some new DLC on the way. The Delicious Last Course was previously announced, but has now been hit with a delay. The DLC will release sometime in 2020 after it was previously on track for sometime this year.

Here’s a new teaser trailer for The Delicious Last Course:

Cuphead launched on Switch back in April. In honor of the game’s release, Japanese magazine Famitsu spoke with Chad and Jared Moldenhauer from Studio MDHR.

One of the more interesting comments came about when Famitsu asked about the possibility of a sequel. Chad responded by noting that the team has an idea “in the extremely early stages” that they’re “building up the proof of concept and getting things ready.” Given the studio’s expertise, he said that “you can at least expect our next game to be in that same style.”

The Art of Cuphead

Now that Cuphead has been released for Switch, you might be interested to hear that an official art book will release later this year. Developer Studio MDGR teamed up with Dark Horse Books to give fans a look at “early concepts, production work, and early ideas that went into the making of Cuphead’s characters, bosses, stages and more.”

Here’s an official description:

System: Switch
Release date: April 18, 2019

Back in 2014, the world was first introduced to a peculiar game known as Cuphead that had an aesthetic thought to be long forgotten, but presented itself with such panache that it was as compelling as it was unique and eye-catching. Its 1930s art direction oddly made you excited to watch the next episode to a show that didn’t exist, and the game was able to hit the right notes with so many people from so many generations. Now Cuphead has been given a chance to shine once again thanks to its new release on Switch.

Cuphead is out today on Switch, and a new trailer has come in to celebrate. Have a look at the video below.

We’re also including a Switch technical analysis from Digital Foundry below. There’s not a whole lot to say about the game since it runs at full resolution and 60 frames per second without any hiccups, but Digital Foundry takes a closer look at things below.

This week’s episode of Nintendo Minute has gone live. In today’s video, Kit and Krysta show off Cuphead with Studio MDHR. Check out the full episode below.

Nintendo has shared a new interview with Jared Moldenhauer, the co-creator of Cuphead. Moldenhauer weighed in on what inspired the making of the game, the well-known art style, and more.

Here’s the full discussion:

Cuphead is known for its hand-drawn art style and classic cartoon look, but that’s not all. Those who have played the game understand how incredibly tough it can be. But now that it’s coming to Switch, the experience won’t be made any easier.

In an interview with Kotaku, Cuphead co-director Jared Moldenhauer stated that the team “wanted to let the next wave of gamers experience it exactly how we intended to make it.” He told the site:

USgamer spoke with Studio MDHR’s Jared Moldenhauer at GDC this week. During their discussion, one of the topics discussed is the challenges of porting the game to Switch.
