Studio MDHR announced two new Cuphead games at Summer Game Fest 2026. The first is a new hand-animated Cuphead game described as a "fresh, exciting adventure" still in its earliest development stages [1, 2, 3]. The second title, Mighty Cuphead Adventure, is an 8-bit action platformer shooter built using classic Assembly Language designed specifically for the Sega Master System hardware [1, 2, 3].
Mighty Cuphead Adventure will feature pixelated 8-bit visuals inspired by retro arcade games, a notable change from the original Cuphead’s 1930s-inspired hand-drawn animation style [1, 2, 3]. Studio MDHR said, "That's right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in classic Assembly Language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind" [1].
The new 8-bit game will be compatible with modern consoles and PC, while also being available as a physical cartridge for the Sega Master System, offering both digital and retro hardware experiences for fans [1, 2, 3].
Studio MDHR has not announced release dates for either game [1, 2].
