Studio MDHR e iam8bit, insieme al partner di distribuzione
Skybound Games, si uniscono per rilasciare l’edizione fisica completa del pluripremiato gioco Cuphead!
L’edizione fisica standard, che include l’espansione DLC Delicious Last Course, sei fumetti collezionabili
di Cuphead, una tessera Cuphead Club e le esclusive immagini interne di Studio MDHR, è ora disponibile
per l’acquisto.
“Un’edizione fisica di Cuphead è un’idea che ci ha entusiasmato per molto tempo”, afferma Maja
Moldenhauer, direttore dello Studio MDHR. “Gran parte della nostalgia che ha alimentato la progettazione
di Cuphead è incentrata sulla meravigliosa esperienza tattile di prendere il gioco che si ama dallo
scaffale, aprire la custodia e tuffarsi in una nuova sfida o in una grande avventura.
Non c’è niente di
simile e non potremmo essere più entusiasti dei team di iam8bit e Skybound per averci aiutato a portare
Cuphead nelle mani dei giocatori con la stessa cura meticolosa e la stessa maestria con cui abbiamo
realizzato il gioco stesso. In un anno pieno di emozioni qui allo Studio MDHR, non riesco davvero a
pensare a un modo migliore per concludere le cose se non con questa uscita.”
Sono passati cinque anni da quando i giocatori hanno esplorato per la prima volta le Inkwell Isles con
Cuphead e Mugman. Dalla sua uscita nel 2017, Cuphead è diventato un fenomeno indie con una miriade
di prodotti e una serie animata Netflix di recente uscita. Studio MDHR, iam8bit e Skybound Games sono
entusiasti di continuare a costruire l’eredità di Cuphead con la prima uscita fisica del gioco.
About Studio MDHR
Studio MDHR is an independent video game developer that exists to surprise and delight our players! Founded in
Canada by brothers Chad and Jared Moldenhauer based on their shared love of retro arcade action and vintage
cartoons, the studio released their flagship title Cuphead in 2017 for Xbox One and PC. Since release, the game has
come to PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. Cuphead has spawned a global consumer product program, where it’s
even been reimagined as a cartoon show of its own (The Cuphead Show!) at Netflix Animation.
In 2022, Studio MDHR followed up the original Cuphead experience with a long-awaited expansion, The Delicious
Last Course. In addition to fleshing out the world of the original game with even more imaginative bosses and
colourful characters, the game told the story of brand-new playable character Ms. Chalice. The Delicious Last Course
went on to sell over 1 million units within the first 2 weeks of release.

iam8bit also played a crucial role in the vinyl renaissance, minting its first record in 2010, and is the
industry leader in premium physical editions of top-tier games. In 2020, iam8bit evolved into financing and publishing games, with several yet-to-be-announced PC, console and tabletop games on the horizon.
