‘Cuphead’ DLC “The Delicious Last Course” Delayed to 2021
Given how the year’s played out, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Studio MDHR has had to delay Cuphead‘s “The Delicious Last Course” DLC from its previously planned 2020 release window to 2021. This would be the second time the DLC has experienced a delay, but with you-know-what throwing a wrench into everything, it’s no surprise.
“While ‘The Delicious Last Course’ is a continuation of Cuphead and Mugman’s grand adventure, it’s also a conclusion to the story that began on that fateful day at The Devil’s casino,” explains Chad & Jared Moldenhauer of Studio MDHR. “In true Studio MDHR fashion, we aren’t content for this final chapter to be anything less than our best work. Throughout development, we’ve challenged ourselves to put everything we learned from making Cuphead into the quality of ‘The Delicious Last Course”s animation, design, and music.
“Meeting this standard has been extremely challenging for us amid the global pandemic that has affected so many our fellow developers. Rather than compromise on our vision in response to COVID, we’ve made the difficult decision to push back the release of ‘The Delicious Last Course’ until we are confident it will delight the Cuphead community of the way we feel it should.”
It’s unfortunate news, but again, it typifies what a lot of studios have had to go through this year with the pandemic. As a sort of consolation, Cuphead has a 25% discount going on Steam (due to the Autumn Sale), the PlayStation Store, the Nintendo eShop, and on the Microsoft Store. Cuphead is available on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.

‘BrokenLore: DON’T LIE’ Launches September 10 on PC, Consoles; Steam Demo Available Now [Trailer]
After announcing a release window for BrokenLore: DON’T LIE last September, Serafini Productions and publisher Wired Productions have announced that the game will launch a this September 10 for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series. And with Steam Next Fest in full swing, you can check out the brand-new demo for the game now.
A Japanese psychological horror experience inspired by themes of isolation, trauma, and fractured memory, BrokenLore: DON’T LIE places players in the role of Junko, a hikikomori whose carefully controlled world begins to collapse as long-buried memories resurface.
Junko withdrew from the outside world years ago. Now, as reality begins to distort around her, familiar places become twisted reflections of her past, forcing her to confront the people, experiences, and emotions she has spent her life trying to escape.
“At Wired Productions, we’ve built a reputation for publishing distinctive horror experiences that stay with players long after the credits roll” says Wired Productions Co-founder and Managing Director Leo Zullo. “BrokenLore: DON’T LIE is an exploration of isolation, memory, and self-deception that creates an experience which feels deeply human while remaining profoundly disturbing.”
Featuring Japanese voice acting throughout, BrokenLore: DON’T LIE combines exploration, investigation, psychological tension, and shifting realities as players uncover the truth hidden within Junko’s memories. As an unseen presence begins to watch and react to her actions, every discovery brings her closer to truths she may not be ready to face.
