Studio MDHR’s gorgeous, classic-cartoon-inspired run-and-gunner Cuphead is coming to Switch on April 18th – and there’s a free update heading to all platforms too.
Cuphead, which launched on Xbox One and PC in 2017, was initially announced to be an Xbox console exclusive, so its imminent arrival on Switch is a welcome – if heavily rumoured – occurrence. Here’s the announcement trailer to i) mark the occasion, and ii) remind us all just how truly sumptuous the game really is.
As on other platforms, Cuphead Switch supports both solo and co-op play (with player two controlling Mugman), and Studio MDHR says that it’s currently working with Microsoft to “investigate bringing Xbox Live features to the Nintendo Switch version of Cuphead”. However, it stresses that it’s “still early days, so we can’t promise any dates or details on this, but we’ll be tinkering away to see what’s possible in the coming months!”.
Those Switch owners eager to get onboard with Cuphead’s glorious (if rock-hard) jump-and-shoot action, can pre-order the game on eShop now.
Studio MDHR has also revealed that a new Cuphead update will be heading to PC and Xbox One alongside the Switch release. This brings “oodles” of new art and animations, including fully animated cinematics, and introduces the option to play as Mugman during solo play.
The developer notes this will all be included in the Switch version at launch, and additional details can be found on MDHR’s announcement page.
