Cuphead’s new update on April 18 is a pretty major one. It will add a new playable character in the form of Mugman, integrate new fully animated cutscenes for the story instead of the static screens that were used in the past. It also includes some bug fixes but details on them weren’t shared by the developers.

If you are running out of hard disk space, the good news is that despite these additions, the game size has been reduced from 11 GB to 4 GB as per the early user reports. New languages have been added to the game as well and some of the animation and player intros have been improved with this update.
