A brand new teaser trailer has arrived for Cuphead's upcoming DLC - 'The Delicious Last Course'. The new content has been pushed back until 2020.
Originally planned for release this year, The Delicious Last Course (or DLC for short - get it?) will give players the chance to explore a new adventure on a brand new island. There are new weapons, new charms, and a brand new character called Ms. Chalice who brings new abilities to the table - that's a whole lot of 'new'.
Key Features:
- Featuring Ms. Chalice as a brand new playable character with a modified moveset and new abilities. Once acquired, Ms. Chalice is fully playable through the DLC and the original Cuphead adventure!
- Traverse a brand new Inkwell Isle and wallop the most wacky and monstrous bosses Cuphead has faced yet!
- Find new weapons and charms to aid you in overcoming brand new challenges and setting new records on old bosses!
- Help Chef Saltbaker on a brand new adventure to uncover the mystery of Legendary Chalice's secret quest!
Despite the delay - which has apparently been put in place "to ensure it's cooked to perfection" - there is good news in the fact that the DLC is definitely on the way to the Switch version of the game.

Looks...fingerlickingly fantastic!
Can't wait!
2020 huh that’s fine I’m still stuck at king dice, probably take me till 2020 to beat it lol
King Dice is tough, but I found a trick to beat the last part. It helps a lot.
As I recall, the physical release of Cuphead for Switch will be around the time the DLC is ready, so it can all be in a single package.
I can't wait.
Cuphead is one of the best games I've ever played.
I'll buy it when it comes to cartridge with the DLC and 100% it again!
Ms chalice is a new PLAYABLE character, not a new character.
So, guessing the physical version won't have the DLC now...
Well, if the physical is still waiting until the DLC is done, then it looks like I won't be playing Cuphead until 2020. Oh well, I have plenty of other games to get to this year.
Side note, while Ms. Chalice is pretty cool Studio MDHR definitely missed an opportunity to have Glasshole as a playable character.
@Aslanmagic Please do share that trick - I stopped playing because of that last part with King Dice.
Glad to hear they're taking their time with it.
Seems to be a question of whether or not this also delays the physical Switch release?
It would be a shame if the cartridge doesn't include the DLC.
Yeashh good they are taking there time, previous game was close to perfection so we want this to be that good as well.
I cant wait
Right on. I'll way for it.
@Janus1986 you can move behind his hand and you’ll be safe. He usually alternates which side he’s on but some times he’ll go twice on one side. I hope that helps. It worked for me a couple days ago.
Way to add sex appeal.
Fantastic game. I loved the art style and music. The game makes me wish Nintendo had an achievement feature though.
@Janus1986 King Dice is definitely tough at first, but he's quite beatable once you find the strategy. You have to continually bounce off the pink aces when the cards march across. What helped me was realizing it was sometimes better to bounce off the same ace twice, allowing me to get a better jump to the next one than I otherwise would have.
@tendonerd There's a "cup size" joke in here somewhere...
Dang it dang it
So...are there any numbers for the switch version of the game yet?
Not much in the trailer, but I'm getting the sense it will be ice and snow themed. Not only are the two bosses and areas snow themed, but the backdrop at the end of the video appears to be ice blocks. It's making me think about World six in Super Mario 3.
Actually happy for the delay. Especially considering Hollow Knight’s sequel is due this year and my brain can only handle so much intensity!
I’m totally cool with a delay it just means the quality will be there and will not be rushed. I’ve beem stuck on the Robot for over a month now to where I’ve stopped playing and he is my last stage to clear before King Dice. I have a much harder time on the flying stages than the platforming ones. I’ve even watched YouTube videos and I just can’t replicate the patterns.
I kind of want this game...too much to play at the moment though.
@BlueKnight07 Pretty sure it'll be that the physical version is delayed until the DLC is released, just like Shovel Knight.
This also mean that the physical edition is push back as well since that one was suppose to include all the DLCs.
I love how they threw in nods to old games in cuphead saw a darkstalkers reference in that trailer.
@BlueKnight07 other way round physical will be delayed to coincide with DLC as others have said.
As far as I’m aware we don’t have a release date.
@PBandSmelly
Apparently female character=Sex Appeal
It's a cup for christ's sake.
Where the hell is online multiplayer?
Good, I have more time to beat King Dice.
@sdelfin Yeah. Maybe the ‘snow’ will be confectionary sugar or something, to make it ‘snowy’ yet appropriate for the food theme. Perhaps not. We’ll see!
@Kal_ Let me tell you about furries and Bowsette.
@DickeyWord The robot was quite tough, but also satisfying. I always felt like I was making progress. I took a look on youtube and found that I prioritized different things from what I saw in the videos, so those may only be of limited help depending on your play style. The skull missiles were one of the bigger issues, so I did my best to minimize their impact by not triggering them too soon and trying to get rid of them quickly.
@MagicEmperor not a bad guess. It fits with the theme and it's the kind of thing the developers would do.
So no physical edition until then
@Kal_ a cup that gives...? 🙈
It’s not too surprising it’s been delayed... that animation must take a very long time...
@Janus1986 the secret is get good.
But really that part isn't that hard
Currently playing through on Expert mode, but I doubt I’ll be ever finish it this way. Loved the game and I’ll probably buy and play everything this developer makes from now on.
Pretty sure the DLC bosses will also take the whole of 2020 to beat.
Ugh... bye, 2019 physical release.
I already have and finished this on PC, but it's one I want to double dip on physical for Switch.
I want this physically for my collection so I'll have to wait for 2020. I already bought it on my Xbox ages ago so I have that version to play. It's incredibly hard and gives me NES vibes of rage quitting as a kid haha.
I could not wait for a physical edition, though I might likely double dip, when they were having their E3 sale last month, I also had $2-something in gold coin discount saved up at the time so I got it for pretty cheap. This delay'll give me time to hone my craft in perfecting this game.
@sdelfin @Aslanmagic Thanks, both things seem worth a try. If only there was a way to skip the tedious first part that's just not fun anymore after you have done it numerous times, and go right to the marching cards part.
@elpardo1984 @Grumblevolcano thanks for reminding me, makes more sense now.
@BlueKnight07
Came in to say what the other two pointed out.
I'm hoping for the physical release to be one more of the "complete edition"s that seem to be popular on Switch.
@Aslanmagic what’s your trick
@Terrible_Majesty move behind his hand and you’ll be safe. He usually alternates which side he’s on but some times he’ll go twice on one side. I hope that helps. It worked for me.
