Cuphead and Ultimate Fantasy aren’t two video games we frequently put collectively, however in the present day, that modifications. StudioMDHR has shared some restricted version art work that shall be included within the Japanese Deluxe Version (by SuperDeluxe Video games) from none aside from Yoshitaka Amano, the unbelievable lead artist on the primary six Ultimate Fantasy video games.
Recognized for designing most of the collection’ iconic characters, the entire logos, and even offering illustrations after he stepped down from the function after Ultimate Fantasy VI, Amano’s work is beloved world wide. And StudioMDHR have collaborated with the artist, who has designed the jacket for the The Scrumptious Final Course’s soundtrack jacket. The developer shared the work on Twitter, and to say it appears to be like wonderful is an understatement.
Even from the lead picture, it would not instantly scream Cuphead, however there are tons of parts from the bottom sport and DLC there, together with varied enemies, bosses, and the Satan, who takes up over half of the sleeve. It appears to be like like a particularly fearsome Ultimate Fantasy-esque behemoth, and extremely terrifying.
Here is a tough machine translation through Google translate of the tweet, together with these unbelievable photographs:
“That is the disclosing of the DLC soundtrack jacket, a collaboration between world-famous artist Yoshitaka Amano and Cuphead! It pays homage to the assorted traditional fantasy RPGs that impressed Cuphead. Please see the fierce battle with the satan! Obtainable solely within the DELUXE 1st RUN that comes with the bundle model of this work launched from @sdxgames!”
We love the small print just like the blonde-haired woman within the backside proper nook (who appears to be like a bit like Terra from FFVI) utilizing a spoon as a weapon, or the bombs from Dr. Kahl’s Robotic close to the Satan. There are such a lot of references in there — see if you happen to can spot all of them!
Up to now, this Deluxe Version artwork appears to solely be confirmed for Japan, however we’re crossing our fingers and praying that we get this artwork within the West one way or the other.
