As a long-time fan who still remembers the days of wrestling with that flower boss, hearing about Studio MDHR‘s new project has me more excited than a squirrel on a sugar rush! The hints of another 2D masterpiece filled with character action, enemies, and boss combat have my heart racing faster than Cuphead does during those nail-biting boss fights.
It appears that Studio MDHR is working on a new project, as indicated by their recent posts on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. They are actively seeking an experienced Senior Unity Programmer who has worked on 2D games, particularly those involving character action, enemy interactions, and boss battles.
Enthusiasts promptly speculated that this might indicate an upcoming Cuphead sequel, given the link shared by Studio MDHR directs to their Employment Opportunities, where they are seeking a candidate for their next major undertaking. This development is particularly significant as the last Cuphead update we received was two years ago, being the long-anticipated DLC expansion.
This listing is chock-full of intriguing aspects, focusing on the creation of 2D content and an eye for precise details. Frankly, it reminds me strongly of the gameplay style seen in Cuphead. What’s even more exciting is that this might be a fresh intellectual property with the potential to surpass the popularity of Cuphead.
8 years ago, Studio MDHR’s run-and-gun platformer was widely acclaimed and became a hot topic. I still recall my initial reaction when I nearly tossed aside my controller out of exasperation, struggling to defeat… even a flower.
A significant factor in its success lies in its intricate animation, reminiscent of the rubber hose cartoons from the 1930s, which Studio MDHR skillfully employed. Their visually appealing art style, while seemingly bright and engaging, was strategically designed to captivate fans with an innovative idea but also subtly draw them into a series of tough boss battles and challenging platforming stages.
Initially released on Windows, Xbox One, and Steam in the year 2017, fans eagerly awaited additional content from Cuphead. However, before its upcoming expansion, Studio MDHR needed to adapt Mugman and Cuphead’s journeys to various other gaming platforms. The macOS version was introduced in 2018, followed by the Nintendo Switch release in 2019, and finally, it became available on PlayStation 4 in 2020.
Two years following the debut of PlayStation, The Delicious Last Course Expansion was unveiled. For enthusiasts of Cuphead, it marked a tough five-year wait. However, the anticipation proved worthwhile. The DLC, also known as The Delicious Last Course, garnered universal acclaim. It introduced an array of fresh content, but most notably, a new area teeming with challenging bosses.
Ms. Chalice offers a unique perspective on challenging gameplay, since her moveset differs significantly from that of Cuphead and Mugman’s parry skill. Her capability to evade attacks and temporarily become invincible proves beneficial during more demanding parts of the game.
Besides the video game, there’s also an abundance of Cuphead content we’ve encountered over time. A Netflix television series titled “The Cuphead Show!” delves deeper into the intricate lore of this peculiar cartoon universe. This animated series has added depth to characters like Cuphead, Mugman, and even the Devil himself. The show garnered immense popularity, leading Netflix to commission three seasons in total. The most recent season was released two years back; fans are eagerly awaiting another one.
It’s evident that there’s not much detail yet regarding the job posting, but it unequivocally signals that Studio MDHR is putting in a great deal of effort to create their upcoming grand production.
