E Cuphead vai virar série na Netflix. Ainda está no princípio e sem previsão de lançamento, com uma história diferente do que foi contado no jogo e um humor que tenha apelo tanto para crianças e jovens como também para adultos. O desenho será feito "à mão" mas de maneira digitalizada, e não pelo Studio MDHR porque, segundo eles, "nunca ficaria pronto", mas por um estúdio interno da própria Netflix. No fim do artigo, tem a informação que Cuphead vendeu 4 milhões de cópias também.
Que bela sacada, vai popularizar ainda mais a franquia.
“We are not going to be animating this [ourselves] because it would never be finished,” Cuphead co-creator Chad Moldenhauer told IGN with a laugh during a phone interview.
“The current goal is to stay as far away from [computer-assisted] puppeteer animation as possible,” he added.
“The idea will still be that every frame is hand-drawn” but probably not on paper.
“It’s going to be hand-drawn but digitally. ‘Tradigital’,” he said.
The Cuphead Show! will follow Cuphead and Mugman in comedic adventures across Inkwell Isle. The press release describes it as such:
“The character-driven comedy follows the unique misadventures of the impulsive Cuphead and his cautious but easily swayed brother Mugman. Through their many misadventures across their surreal home of the Inkwell Isles, they’ve always got one another’s backs.” We asked the Moldenhauer brothers to elaborate on the style of comedy they’re aiming for, and Chad said,
“It’s safe for kids, but written so there are also things that adults find funny and appeals to a wider audience. It’s not a toddler show or a little kids cartoon. It’s safe to say that [the showrunners are] aiming for the same kind of vibe that the game hints at. They’ll be taking that idea and expanding it.”
As for what the plot of the show itself will be, Chad told us,
“That is something we don’t quite know just yet. But we do know that we are not going to re-tell the game. This is going to explore other things and not just [Don’t Deal With the Devil].” Jared added,
“The game told its story. The cartoon will tell its [own].”
