Studio MDHR, the creators of the 2017 smash-hit Cuphead, just today released its long-awaited DLC: The Delicious Last Course. With it, they dropped a wonderful little surprise by releasing the DLC’s entire soundtrack on YouTube, which you can listen to

The original Cuphead’s soundtrack was heavily praised, along with nearly every other aspect of the game. It was highly effective in capturing this old-school frantic jazz style, that matched perfectly with the game’s classic rubber hose animation. So, it’s no wonder why this move by Studio MDHR is such a pleasant surprise. Just recently, they’d released a making-of video of just one of the game’s songs, and that was received with much praise.

The soundtrack is comprised of exactly 30 tracks, each averaging about a couple of minutes long, and the whole video lasts a bit over an hour and ten minutes. The track count can give you an approximate of how many bosses the DLC will have, but remember to take into account intro and outro songs, as well as overworld songs. As they’d stated before, the description affirms that the soundtrack was composed by over 110 musicians.

It is quite pleasant to see an indie developer that has accrued such a massive and loyal fanbase to still show respect and appreciation for their players, by going about these consumer-friendly practices. This DLC is currently priced at USD $8.00. This is a sensible fraction of the original’s $20.00 price point, but it really could have easily been priced higher, and few would have batted an eye. Furthermore, soundtracks with this much production value behind them are often sold separately, which they could have also easily done.

They might still do that, but releasing the entire thing on YouTube for everyone’s convenience, and ad-free at that, goes to show that this is a studio that cares more than anything, about the quality of the products they make, and the satisfaction of their audience.
