Studio MDHR
tweets the announcement of a delay to
The Delicious Last Course, the
upcoming DLC for
Cuphead. They say this is due in part to COVID-19: "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. For
our wonderful Cuphead community, we've prepared a letter from Studio MDHR
founders Chad & Jared Moldenhauer to share more." Here's the
letter:
While the Delicious Last Course is a continuation of Cuphead and
Mugman's grand adventure, it's also a conclusion to this 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
compromising 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 that 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 their next year the truly magical one.
With our warmest regards, Chad and Jared Moldenhauer.
