Is Studio MDHR making more Cuphead?

In June 2018, Chad and Jared Moldenhauer sat down with Game Reactor and talked about what might be next for MDHR after Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course.

Will there be More Cuphead?

The biggest way that Cuphead stood out from the crowd was the stunning hand drawn 2D art style. The good news is that their next game will likely continue the tradition. However, the similarities will likely end there as the “genre, the era, the gameplay and the difficulty will be different and refreshing”

When speaking with IGN, Maja Moldenhauer spoke of the reasoning for The Delicious Last Course was due to how much content didn’t make the original game because many of those ideas “needed the extra time”.

“We got it all in” she said, hinting towards the end of Cuphead for the immediate future. Maja also doubled down on the brothers statements from 2018 saying “we love 2D animation, we love pencil to paper but beyond that, it can go anywhere”

Keep in mind that all of this was said over three years ago, nothing is set in stone and they don’t have an obligation to these words. With the critical and commercial success of not only The Delicious Last Course but also the Netflix show, it would be very hard to step away from something that they worked so hard establishing and building into the brand it is today. However from everything they said, Studio MDHR will likely be moving on from Cuphead and Mugman for now.
