DLC coming out years after the base game is not a new phenomenon, but Cuphead really takes the cake with the gap between the original release and its expansion. This new content, called The Delicious Last Course, comes to the game just about five years after the base game's launch.

The game is so good, however, that it has managed to stay in the zeitgeist all this time and fans are excited to get their hands on the new content.

The new bosses are incredibly difficult and require a high level of skill and patience to conquer, especially if you are tackling them solo.

You need to reach the first mausoleum featured in Cuphead, which are the grey buildings in the overworld. These are the parrying challenges that unlock new special moves.
