Announced at E3 2018, Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course will therefore have taken four years to release, whereas the DLC was originally supposed to arrive in 2019. Of course, COVID-19 has complicated things, but by Maja Moldenhauer's own admission, the mental health of developers is considered a top priority for StudioMDHR. "It's complicated to find people [capable of working on the game, ndlr], explained recently the one who is both producer of the game and director of the studio. The priority, and even more during the COVID-19, c was to make everyone happy. We're talking about video games. Take your time. Mental health should be above all else. It is necessary that you take the space and time you need , especially the last two years. We were like, 'If the game takes longer to come out, so be it. Who cares?'"
Before adding: "If we have to take all the risks, it must be for a company of which we are proud, for a company that brings together all the things that we have always wanted. Respect for each other, l love and support; in fact, things we never received in our previous jobs." And this strategy of full well-being is paying off since it is not without a certain pride that StudioMDHR announces that fifteen days after its release (June 30), Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course has already totaled more than a million copies sold. on Xbox One, PS4, PC and Nintendo Switch - a feat that the original game, which now has over five million copies sold, took longer to achieve.
#CupheadDLC has gone platinum, selling 1M copies!!
