If you haven’t had a chance to play Cuphead, brace yourself. It’s not easy, but it is a great game, stylistically and mechanically. Netflix’s turning the critically acclaimed Cuphead into an animated series.
King Features brings The Cuphead Show! to life, which expands the universe in the game. The series follows the appearance of the game. The 1930s art style of Max Fleischer (Popeye and Betty Boop) influenced the game’s style heavily.
You can check out the Twitter post announcing the project below:
