Summer Game Fest is here, and with it come new game announcements, trailers, and, overall, a glimpse into what comes next in gaming. And we just got an announcement from Studio MHDR, one of the biggest indie studios and the developers behind Cuphead, just announced that an all-new Cuphead game is in the works, and that a small team inside the studio is working on a game that’s its own, called Mighty Cuphead Adventure. There is no current release date for the two games. Only that they will reveal more as they go, as everything is still in early development.
After the reveal at Summer Game Fest, MDHR has released a press release talking about all the announcements, and this is what they have to say about their games: “Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” says co-founder Chad Moldenhauer. They also go on to talk about how they went about revealing their new titles:
“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.”
Mighty Cuphead Adventure, as mentioned before, is being worked on by a small team within the studio, and the game will play like an 8-bit action platformer, which is the inspiration behind the games they make. “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.”
In the coming months, Studio MDHR will reveal more about Mighty Cuphead Adventure, so make sure to look out for more information as it comes, as each game is still in early development. So check out their socials in the coming months.
