Studio MDHR, creators of the amazing boss shooter Cuphead, took the occasion of Thanksgiving to let their hungry fans know they would NOT be chowing down on the long-in-development DLC addition this year. The Delicious Last Course, announced in 2018 and delayed in 2019, has been hit with more setbacks.
This time, you can blame the same culprit reponsible for everything else. “In the wake of the ongoing global pandemic affecting so many, we have made the difficult decision to push back the release of The Delicious Last Course,” said MDHR in a tweet sent out today. The tweet also included a letter from from studio founders Chad & Jared Moldenhauer to explain further.
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 our fellow developers. Rather than compromise on our vision in response to COVID, we’ve made the difficult decision to push back the release of “The Delicious Last Course” until we are confident it will delight the Cuphead community of 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.
With our warmest regards,
Chad & Jared Moldenhauer
In all honesty, we were hoping the radio silence from MDHR in recent months was a sign they were expanding the DLC into Cuphead 2 and just couldn’t announce it yet. Woulda been nice. They are now promising Delicious Last Course for sometime in 2021.
