The critically acclaimed Cuphead is celebrating its two year birthday today. On top of that, the title has reached 5 million copies sold. To celebrate, StudioMDHR is giving 20% off Cuphead for a week on all platforms. Cuphead was originally released on Xbox One and PC to critical acclaim but has now become available on the Switch. To add to the excitement, StudioMDHR has stated that this is just the start of the titles giveaways.
The success of Cuphead has not been limited to the game itself. Just this week, Cuphead's soundtrack became the first gaming soundtrack to top the Billboard Jazz Charts. There is also a spin of web series coming to Netflix entitled 'The Cuphead Show!' and it was recently announced that the game is playable in Tesla cars. The game has been a huge multi-media hit and with more deals promised of the next 5 days, surprises could come in a variety of ways.
Many will remember that this July the DLC ' The Delicious Last Course' was delayed until 2020. With that in mind, it is unlikely that there will be any substantial new game content for fans in the coming days. However, with an upcoming Cuphead novel called 'Cuphead in Carnival Chaos' and a huge variety of merchandise, discounts may come in many shapes and sizes.
The next 5 days will surely celebrate a game from an independent game developer that made a huge impact on mainstream gaming. Cuphead was one of the best independent games of 2017 and looks to have an even bigger legacy. With the multiple avenues the franchise is exploring, there will undoubtedly be more Cuphead for fans to enjoy in the future. Yet, for now, players can enjoy 5 days of basking in the success of the game and new players can get their hands on it at a discounted rate.
Cuphead is available now on PC, Switch and Xbox One.
