Cuphead – The Delicious Last Course was planned for 2020, however Studio MDHR has announced that the new content will be pushed back to 2021. The developer explained that the coronavirus pandemic is one of the main reasons why the extra time is needed.
A statement from Studio MDHR reads:
While the Delicious Last Course is a continuation of Cuphead and Mugman’s grand adventure, it’s also a conclusion to the story that began on that fateful day at The Devil’s casino.
In true Studio MDHR fashion, we aren’t content for this final chapter to be anything less than our best work. Throughout development, we’ve challenged ourselves to put everything we learned from making Cuphead into the quality of The Delicious Last Course’s animation, design, and music.
Meeting this standard has been extremely challenging for us amid the global pandemic that has affected so many of our fellow developers. Rather than compromise on our vision in response to COVID, we’ve made the difficult decision to push the release of The Delicious Last Course until we are confident it will delight the Cuphead community the way we feel it should.
We know many of you have been waiting to return to the Inkwell Isles, and our goal is to make the trip back there next year a truly magical one.
