After a series of delays, Cuphead's long-awaited and highly anticipated DLC Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course has finally received a release date. Gamers will return to the Inkwell Isles next summer.
The announcement comes as part of The Game Awards 2021. The annual industry awards show, hosted by Geoff Keighley, featured a variety of celebrity presenters, including Will Arnett, Keanu Reeves, Jim Carrey, Jacksepticeye, and more. The Game Awards also serves as a platform for developers to make big announcements and reveals, as Cuphead developer Studio MDHR just has.
Revealed by a nearly two-minute long trailer, the Cuphead: The Delicous Last Course DLC trailer features a period-appropriate trailer of Cuphead, Mugman, and the newly playable Miss Chalice character heading to D.L.C. Island, a "previously undiscovered" Inkwell Isle. The trailer promises more imaginative adversaries and environments for players to wallop, ranging from a massive Yeti in snowy mountains, to western plains with a literal cow-boy named Sheriff Winchester. The Cuphead DLC trailer also hints at new power-ups, courtesy of Chef Saltbaker. The trailer finally reveals Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course is launching on June 30, 2022.
The official hard release date of Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course finally ends years of waiting for fans. The additional content was first announced at E3 back in 2018 with a teaser trailer showcasing Miss Chalice. While initially expected to arrive sometime in 2019, the DLC was delayed into 2020. Studio MDHR remained largely silent over the course of that year, eventually announcing the Cuphead content expansion wouldn't be ready until 2021. With an exact release date established, and a slew of all-new content featured in the trailer, it looks like the DLC is finally going to happen.
Cuphead is not only finally getting its DLC in 2022, but an animated TV series, set to debut some time next year on Netflix.The Cuphead Show! will feature the major players from the charmingly animated but notoriously difficult shooting platformer, including The Devil, Ms.Chalice, Elder Kettle, and more. Netflix released a sneak peek trailer of the 10-episode first season earlier this year, which also revealed the voice actor of King Dice to be Wayne Brady.
While its yet to be revealed what Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course's pricing will be, the immensely popular title is sure to have plenty of buyers. No word on if the game is coming to Teslas.
Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course DLC launches on Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Steam, and GOG on June 30, 2022.
