Studio MDHR Developing Two New Cuphead Games

Studio MDHR announced it is developing two new Cuphead titles in a short developer update to fans. The studio described the projects as separate games rather than minor updates and indicated it is leading the work internally.

The update did not include release dates, platforms, detailed descriptions or the names of any publishing partners. Studio MDHR wrote that more information will be released as development reaches key milestones.

The announcement positions the projects as part of an effort to expand the Cuphead franchise beyond its existing releases. Cuphead originally launched in 2017 and received the standalone expansion The Delicious Last Course in 2022. The game is built around hand-drawn, 1930s cartoon-inspired visuals and boss-focused run-and-gun gameplay.

Studio MDHR framed the new titles as part of a longer-term plan to use the series’ characters, art style and gameplay foundations. The company did not specify whether the two games will be large-scale productions or smaller experimental entries.

The update is the first confirmed slate of multiple Cuphead projects since the 2022 expansion. Studio MDHR said it will share further announcements and development details at future milestones.
