TL;DR (2-3 Sentence Summary)
Studio MDHR, the developer of Cuphead, announced that they are working on a new Cuphead video game and an 8-bit style spin-off title. The news was officially revealed during Summer Game Fest on the 6th. The new Cuphead game will feature the signature hand-drawn animation style of its predecessor, and will feature Cuphead and his friends.

Look, let's be honest: Studio MDHR, the clever folks behind Cuphead, have just dropped the news that they are cooking up not one, but two new projects. They are officially in production on a brand-new Cuphead title, alongside a rather cheeky 8-bit spin-off.
The news broke on the 6th at Summer Game Fest. The main new Cuphead project will, naturally, stick to the studio's signature hand-drawn animation style. Development is officially underway, and you can expect Cuphead and his pals to return to the fray.
Then there is the spin-off, 'Mighty Cuphead Adventure'. It is an 8-bit action platformer, but here is the kicker: it is being built to run physically on a 32-bit CRT television and the Sega Master System—yes, the one released back in 1985. While it is coming to modern consoles and PC, they are actually planning to release physical cartridges for the Sega Master System as well.
From what we can gather, it seems the focus is shifting away from the boss-rush formula of the original, leaning more into traditional platforming stages. They are calling this a 'completely new game,' which suggests this isn't just a simple graphical reskin. Cuphead and Mugman are confirmed as playable characters, and we have already spotted that iconic trio of root vegetable bosses—the potato, carrot, and onion—making an appearance.
Further details on both the new Cuphead title and Mighty Cuphead Adventure are set to be revealed at a later date.
