Cuphead DLC 2022

What Happened to Cuphead DLC?

One of our most anticipated games of 2022 is Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course, which will be a day one purchase, but one question remains. Has it been too long for Cuphead? By the time, Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course gets released at the end of June it will have been almost five years since the release of the trailblazing original game.

Cuphead was released on September 29, 2017 and within two weeks, had sold over one million copies. Keep in mind this is an indie game that was released exclusively for a failing console, which at the time, hadn’t yet turned the ship around.The success of the original game was so high that is got ported to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and even now has a Netflix show.

Cuphead was a breath of fresh air in a world of sequels and copycat games. It was a tough as nails platformer with excellent boss fights, wonderful audio score and obviously, the hand drawn art style that captured everyones attention. According to Venture Beat as of the time of launch on PlayStaton 4 in 2020, Cuphead had sold 6 million copies. Releasing on a system with well over 100 million users like would have boosted sales by another million or so.

Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course is not an Xbox exclusive this time around, which bodes well for greater success immediately with a greater potential audience. There isn’t much that we know about Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course as of yet but If Studio MDHR just delivers more of the same, will that be enough to sell well and score high like the original after this long?
