The Delicious Last Course will stay in the oven until 2020.
Cuphead developer Studio MDHR has announced that the upcoming DLC expansion, Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course, has been delayed until 2020.
In a press release, the team cited a desire to avoid the unhealthy “crunch” on a project that is all too common in the gaming industry, saying, “The development of the original game taught us a great deal about the importance of making things in a way that’s healthy and sustainable for our team.” It also sounds like the DLC simply needed more time in general. “While we initially announced a 2019 release date for the Delicious Last Course expansion,” Studio MDHR said, “our highest priority is making sure this new adventure meets the meticulous level of care and quality we always strive for…We’ll be moving the release of The Delicious Last Course, for all platforms, to 2020.” They also dropped a new trailer for the expansion, which you can view below:
Cuphead Review, Platforms, Sales
Cuphead is a bullet-hell boss-rush shooter in the style of a sadistic 1930’s cartoon. Our Cuphead review praised both its incredible hand-drawn graphics and its meticulous co-op challenge. Though it originally released as an Xbox One game and a PC game, it has since been ported to Nintendo Switch and, as IGN exclusively reported, it’s also on the way to Tesla vehicles as well. It has sold over 3 million copies so far.
Don’t miss the original announcement trailer for The Delicious Last Course from E3 2018, as well as that time we had Cuphead co-creators Chad and Jared Moldenhauer at our studio and made them play their own game’s toughest bosses. While they were here, we interviewed them about their fascinating day-jobs-to-game-dev-jobs career story.
