One of the best video game art books is getting a long-awaited follow-up later this year. The Art of Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course will be published by Dark Horse Books on October 22. The original Cuphead art book is a stunning companion for the base game, as it beautifully captures the painstaking process of animating a game designed to look like a 1930s-era cartoon. And now, Cuphead’s lone expansion is receiving the same treatment.
Two editions of The Art of Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course are available to preorder at Amazon, including a gorgeous limited edition for Cuphead superfans. You’ll also soon be able to get an inside look at the making of Netflix’s The Cuphead Show.
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. If you haven’t checked out the art book for the base game, you can save about $20 off its list price at Amazon.
For the passionate Cuphead enthusiasts, Dark Horse is publishing a limited edition version of the book. This Deluxe Edition features a unique mint-green foil slipcase, a foldout portfolio case with three acetate cells, and a ribbon bookmark.
This exclusive edition matches the Deluxe Edition of the previously mentioned Art of Cuphead book. Please note: The Art of Cuphead Deluxe Edition has been available to buy only from third-party sellers for several years now–it was genuinely “limited.” With this in mind, if you’re drawn to the high-end version of the new book, we suggest preordering The Art of Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course Deluxe Edition at your earliest convenience.
Presently, it’s priced at $95 (down from $100) on Amazon. It’s worth highlighting that the The Art of Cuphead Deluxe Edition saw significant markdowns ahead of its release. By securing your preorder now, you will be able to benefit from any upcoming discounts before October 22. You won’t be billed for your preorder until the book is dispatched.
The Art of The Cuphead Show grants readers an extensive inspection into the production of Netflix’s fantastic animated series, which spanned for three seasons. The book, featuring 256 pages, showcases exclusive production artwork, character designs, storyboards, as well as commentary from the creators and designers involved in converting Studio MDHR’s animated game into a genuine cartoon.
The Art of The Cuphead show releases September 3 and is available to preorder for $50.
