Inspired by cartoons of the 1930's, the visuals and audio are painstakingly created with the same techniques of the era, i.e. traditional cel animation (hand drawn & hand inked!), watercolor backgrounds, and original jazz recordings.

Play as Cuphead or Mugman (in single player or co-op) as you traverse strange worlds, acquire new weapons, learn powerful super moves, and discover hidden secrets.

Cuphead is all action, all the time.

Do you have what it takes?

Stalwart brothers Cuphead, Mugman, and the all-new Ms. Chalice will be setting off on this next adventure on June 30, 2022!

Cuphead – The Delicious Last Course sees Cuphead and Mugman setting sail for “D.L.C. Isle”, an untamed and previously undiscovered island off the coast of the main Inkwell Isles. In true Cuphead fashion, however, they find that the island is host to a new cast of fearsome, larger than life bosses, all of whom are tied to a quest they must undertake on behalf of the jubilant and jolly Chef Saltbaker. What this quest is and where it will take our intrepid heroes is something we want to keep secret for just a little longer, but it’s fair to say that it might be our brave little cups grandest adventure yet.

And at the centre of this brand new quest? A completely new playable character, Ms. Chalice. As some of our longest running and most passionate Cuphead fans, Xbox players will surely recognize her as The Legendary Chalice – the wise spectral being who can be found in the original game’s mausoleum stages, where she gifts you the powerful Super Arts.

Luckily, Ms. Chalice is there for more than just moral support. In her new form, however, Ms. Chalice packs a wallop of her own, and was designed from the ground up with a host of unique abilities that we think will enable players to overcome bosses in clever new ways. Which is a good thing, considering that bosses in Cuphead – The Delicious Last Course are easily the biggest ones we’ve ever created. To put it into perspective, there are single phases of one boss within this expansion that have more frames of animation than entire bosses from the original Cuphead!

“Everyone really honed their craft during the course of development,” adds Studio MDHR Chief Operating Officer Maja Moldenhauer. “We’re so proud of our talented team, and the meticulous care they put into every element of this expansion. There are individual phases of bosses in The Delicious Last Course that contain more frames of animation than entire bosses in the original Cuphead, and we think fans and newcomers alike will really appreciate the depth and detail on display!”

“We’re beyond thrilled to finally be sharing a release date for The Delicious Last Course with our fans,” says Studio MDHR Co-Director Chad Moldenhauer. “As with so many of our fellow developers, creating games during these unique times has brought with it a host of challenges, and we’re so grateful to our Cuphead community for their patience and excitement as we’ve pushed to make The Delicious Last Course a true high watermark of the studio’s art, design, and animation.”

"We were so fortunate to have the chance to work remotely with stop motion studio Screen Novelties in Los Angeles on a trailer featuring physically crafted sets, marionette puppets, shadow play animations, and classic practical effects. For those with a keen eye, I suggest rewatching the trailer and studying the physical representation of our D.L.C. Isle map, where secrets abound!"
