The Art of Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course
$40
The Art of Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course is a 272-page oversized hardcover focused exclusively on Cuphead’s brilliant 2022 DLC (Delicious Last Course). The book takes fans on a frame-by-frame journey through the expansion’s seven bosses and The King’s Leap challenge arena. Delicious Last Course also introduced Ms. Chalice as a playable character and numerous new NPCs who will likely be featured in this art book.If you’ve played Cuphead, you know the level of detail on display in each of the game’s inventive boss battles. The DLC actually has as many frames of animation as the base game, despite it only comprising about 25% of the full Cuphead experience. The Art of Cuphead, which focuses on the base game, is a fascinating, must-have book for fans, so we’d expect The Art of Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course to provide a similarly insightful look inside Studio MDHR’s creative process.Along with frame-by-frame animation of the bosses you can find in The Delicious Last Course, this book contains early concept art as well as unused ideas.With Amazon’s preorder price guarantee, you’ll get The Art of Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course for the lowest price offered between the time you order and release. Target is also taking preorders for the book, but just be aware that the October 22 release date listed on its site is the old date–the book was pushed back to November.If you haven’t checked out the art book for the base game, you can save about $20 off its list price at Amazon.
