Don't worry, Studio MDHR is working on another hand-drawn Cuphead game, too.

Studio MDHR Studio MDHR, the developer of hand-drawn action platformer Cuphead, announced that its working on a new game called Mighty Cuphead Adventure at Summer Game Fest Live 2026. The 2D platformer apparently ditches the 1930s-inspired animation of Cuphead in favor of an 8-bit style that looks more at home in Super Mario Bros. 3.

Only a small portion of Mighty Cuphead Adventure was actually shown during the developer's announcement, so it's hard to say how it might differ from the original game beyond its visuals. It does seem it will at least feel similarly frantic to play. StudioMDHR referred to the upcoming game as a "fast-action platformer shooter," which certainly sounds like Cuphead to me.
