Fans of Cuphead have long awaited the release of the upcoming Delicious Last Course DLC expansion will be disappointed to learn that the DLC will be delayed till 2020. The DLC will include features such as a new isle “full of delectable adventures for Cuphead and Mugman to gnaw on,” and a new character, Ms. Chalice, who has a different moveset from the original two playable characters Cuphead and Mugman.

Originally, the DLC was meant to be out sometime this year, but due to the developers wanting to reduce crunch times the delay was inevitable.

A brand new teaser trailer for the DLC can be viewed below:

“While we initially announced a 2019 release date for the ‘Delicious Last Course’ expansion, our highest priority is making sure this new adventure meets the meticulous level of care and quality we always strive for,” said the game’s co-director Chad Moldenhauer in a statement about the delay. “We want to be absolutely certain that this next adventure feels at home in the world of Cuphead and is full of moments that surprise and delight players.”

“With that in mind, we’re taking a page out of Chef Saltbaker’s book, and spending the necessary time to get the recipe just right — this means that we’ll be moving the release of The Delicious Last Course to 2020. This wasn’t an easy decision to make, but we’re confident it’s one that will result in a higher quality experience that’s all the sweeter when it does arrive.”

For now, it’s safe to say that the delay is for the best. It will allow the development team to make the highest quality DLC they can with the extra time they have. Also, it will reduce the need for crunch-time in a big way.

Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course DLC is in development for Nintendo Switch, Windows PC, and Xbox One.
