If we are talking about an event for the release of Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course, it is quite simply because the game was originally supposed to be released in 2020 before, finally, being postponed. And obviously, COVID-19 isn’t the only reason for the two-year delay, with StudioMDHR paying attention to the mental health of its developers as well. “The priority, and even more so during COVID-19, was to make sure everyone was happyexplained recently Maja Moldenhauer, both producer of Cuphead and director of the studio. We are talking about video games. Take your time. Mental health must be above all. It is necessary that you take the space and the time that you need, especially in the last two years. We thought, ‘If the game takes longer to come out, so be it. Who cares?’ If we’re going to take all the risk, it has to be for a company we’re proud of, for a company that brings together all the things we’ve always wanted. Respect for each other, love and support; in fact, things that we never received in our previous jobs.“
A more than commendable position that goes against the financial imperatives to which most players in the video game industry are subject.
