There’s still ‘one or two extra deep secrets’ to find
The splendid run-and-gun gameCupheadcontinues to sell well and every time we hear about a new sales milestone, I feel reassured. It’s wonderful to know thatthis type of gamecan be embraced at this level. The latest word:Cupheadhas surpassed three million units sold across PC and Xbox One.
“We wantedCupheadto feel like coming home to a place you remembered, only to find it full of surprises,” said co-director Chad Moldenhauer. “Along the way, we packed every scene full of as many secrets and tributes as we possibly could. We named characters after legendary animators and tried our hand at new versions of classic game encounters. We even went as far as to hide subtle visual gags in single frames of animation! Ultimately, we wanted the game’s world to feel like it was bursting with things to uncover. This has been one of our greatest joys since the game’s launch: seeing fans dissect, discuss, and share all these moments with one another. Well, perhaps notallof them.”
I keep intentionally “forgetting” thatwe’re gettingCupheadDLC in order to stop myself from growing too restless (a tactic I’m also employing forSpelunky 2). 2019 feels so far away right now, but I’m stoked forThe Delicious Last Courseand whatever else the future might hold for Studio MDHR.
If you still need to pick upCuphead, it’s currently 20 percent off.
