Partnering with iam8bit, Studio MDHR is bringing the world a special retail version of the beloved side-scrolling shooter, Cuphead. The news comes alongside an adorable stop-motion video released by iam8bit that also showcases what’s inside the different versions of the physical edition.
The standard edition of Cuphead, which launches on Dec 6, will net you the Delicious Last Course DLC (Which contains a new campaign and character), a bunch of collectible cards, and exclusive art from Studio MDHR.

The game later arrived on Nintendo Switch and PS4, respectively, and has sold over 6 million copies.
