Studio MDHR Announces 2 New Cuphead Games Are in Development

Studio MDHR made an appearance at Summer Game Fest 2026 with two big game reveals: Mighty Cuphead Adventure and a new hand-animated Cuphead game.

Host Geoff Keighley introduced the new titles before handing the stage to the independent game developer. In typical MDHR fashion, it used a puppet show for the grand reveal, showing off gameplay footage for its pixelated Mighty Cuphead Adventure game, while promising that a hand-drawn Cuphead follow-up is also in early development.

You can see first gameplay for the former below.

For all of the biggest highlights from the show, you can see everything announced at Summer Game Fest 2026.
