Cuphead Newest Patch Addresses Exploits, Bugs, and Balancing

Cuphead, News, Originals, PC, Platforms, Studio MDHR, Xbox One


Studio MDHR’s 1930s-inspired-boss-rush Cuphead released just over two months ago and the latest update attempts to knock out some of the issues, and balance a few of the game’s aspects in order to provide a more polished post-launch experience. Patch 1.1.3 released yesterday and is aimed at improving fans’ quality of life.

You can check out the full list of changes to the game below.

Some of the most notable changes include the ability to maintain your weapon charge throughout a parry and bosses behaving as designed (yeah, they weren’t difficult enough before). There’s also some updates to controller functions, which were causing disconnects and freezes, as well as killing some controllers’ charge when a controller rumble would go on forever.

You also can’t make a Mugman army in the overworld anymore by removing and adding player 2 in quick succession.

There were some changes to the Devil fight, such as his goat attack now properly hitting players who are ducking –and polishing some hitboxes on his snake attack. Oh and there’s now a “spooky” announcer during Mausoleum encounters.

Thankfully, no changes have been made to the King Dice theme song, which is, in my opinion, one of the best songs of the year.

Cuphead is available now for PC and Xbox One. You can check out our review of the game here. Or if you’re a fan of Dark Souls, you can check out this incredible fan-made parody crossover.
