Ah, phooey!
Cuphead, the run-n-gun homage to 1930s cartoons and recreational LSD use, is being delayed. Originally, it was set to release later this year. But developer Studio MDHR decided the game needed a little more time to marinate. It explained its reasoning in a blog post.
“Throughout this year we discussed reducing the scope to make a 2016 release, but we made the difficult decision to delay the launch in order to ship with our vision intact,” the post says. “We are happy to announce that Cuphead will be coming to Xbox One, Windows 10 and Steam in Mid-2017.”
While it’s disappointing to see Cuphead delayed, I’d rather they take their time to make sure the game hits the right tone. So, 2017 it is.
I’ll just light up some classic Betty Boop cartoons and imagine everything is shooting at her.
