After several years of waiting and multiple delays, Cuphead has finally been released for Xbox One and PC. Its unique design reminiscent of classic 1930s Disney cartoons immediately made it a standout project in the indie sector of gaming. Now that the game has been playable by the public, it has been well received by audiences for its colorful imagery and difficult, but compelling gameplay. Players have also been enjoying the game’s local multiplayer co-operative gameplay mode, but many have voiced a desire to play with their friends online. Now, the game’s creators have stated that Cuphead online multiplayer may indeed be coming in the future.

The game’s producer, Maja Moldenhauer, recently spoke with Fandom about the creative process that went into developing the game and their plans for future support for the game. She mentions how her husband Chad and brother-in-law Jared, the game’s creators, grew up with classic 1980s platformer video games and 1930s cartoons, and how these pieces of pop culture heavily inspired them to make Cuphead. Moldenhauer also acknowledges the past three years of development work that the three of them put into the project, and how they are not necessarily done with Cuphead, despite the game officially releasing, saying:

“Chad and Jared grew up playing co-op together and they were like, OK this game HAS to be co-op. So, while it’s local couch coop for now, [we’re] looking into adding online at a later date.”

This will certainly keep the hope alive for online multiplayer coming to the game in the future. Still, audiences seem to be loving the game regardless of the feature being missing at this time.
