Studio MDHR, the creative force behind the wildly popular Cuphead, is looking for a senior Unity programmer to join their team. This move signals work on a new game, though it’s unclear if it’s a direct sequel or something entirely fresh.
Since its 2017 release, Cuphead has been a standout thanks to its 1930s rubber-hose animation style and challenging boss fights. The original game and DLC, The Delicious Last Course, have sold nearly ten million copies. The Netflix series adaptation has run for three seasons, keeping the franchise alive in fans’ minds.
The job listing calls for a programmer experienced with character action, enemies, and boss combat, elements that echo Cuphead’s DNA. The studio’s description emphasizes a “sense of craftsmanship” and attention to “little details that people may not notice,” which fits perfectly with the meticulous design fans have come to expect.
However, the listing doesn’t mention Cuphead 2 explicitly. Studio MDHR may be working on a new IP or a different project that still carries the spirit of their previous work. Either way, the talent search suggests something interesting is brewing.
Here’s the official tweet from Studio MDHR announcing the opening:
