New hand-animated Cuphead game and 8-bit action platformer Mighty Cuphead Adventure announced
Two new Cuphead adventures from Studio MDHR.
Studio MDHR has announced two new Cuphead projects: a brand-new, hand-animated Cuphead game early in development, and Mighty Cuphead Adventure, an 8-bit action platformer.
“Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” said co-founder Chad Moldenhauer in a press release. “When it came time to peel back the curtain and share a little bit about what we’ve been up to, we couldn’t imagine a more fun way to do so than with today’s Special Bulletin. Crafted with the wonderful teams at Toronto’s Stop Motion Department & Continue Agency, we hope the announcement will transport players to the era we’ll be taking them to in our next project, Mighty Cuphead Adventure.”
Here are the first details:
First off, Studio MDHR is happy to officially confirm that development has begun on a brand-new, hand-animated Cuphead video game that will take their beloved characters on a fresh, exciting adventure. This ambitious project is still in its earliest stages of development, and the team looks forward to revealing more at a later date.
On that note, a small team within Studio MDHR has been working in secret on another project: an 8-bit action platformer named Mighty Cuphead Adventure. In true Studio MDHR fashion, this game goes beyond just taking inspiration from the classics of the 1980s… it is actually built with technology of the era! That’s right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in classic Assembly Language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind. While the game will absolutely be compatible with modern consoles and PC, players who want a true blast from the past will be able to experience it on a physical cartridge on the Sega Master System home gaming console.
Studio MDHR will share much more about Mighty Cuphead Adventure in the months ahead, so stay tuned to their social channels for more.
