Devsisters Updates Cookie Run: Kingdom and Cookie Run: Crumble for Chuseok

Devsisters (194480) is rolling out updates adding new content to the mobile RPG Cookie Run: Kingdom and the mobile idle RPG Cookie Run: Crumble ahead of the Chuseok holiday.

Cookie Run: Kingdom is receiving the "Mortal Flame, Eternal History" update, which introduces a new World Exploration episode and a new Beast-grade cookie.

The 11th episode of the World Exploration arc "Timeline of Destiny," titled "The Flame Devours an Era," follows GoldCheese Cookie, who repeatedly fails to rebuild her kingdom after the war and dives into the memories of the tyrant Burning Spice Cookie to obtain his power.

The newly added "Mortal Rajapendra Cookie" is a Beast-grade charge-type cookie seeking to bring an end to the cookie world. Its skill "Summon Fire Centipede" deals damage to nearby enemies with the power of rampage and summons a fire centipede that inflicts burns, damage over time and the Mark of Mortality on all enemies. An Epic-grade healing cookie, "Mograhmat Cookie," which uses the skill "Spread the Tale," was also added.

New combat content, the "Mortal Rajapendra Raid," is also opening. The raid, which pits players against a giant Rajapendra, will run across four seasons, with players assembling optimal parties against a boss that learns elemental attacks to earn a range of rewards.

Cookie Run: Crumble will be updated Thursday afternoon with two new cookies and additional combat content.

The TSSR-grade "Princess Bari Cookie" is a fire-attribute charge-type cookie that guides the souls of cookies to the afterlife, charging at high-attack enemies to deal area damage and applying "Soul Guidance" to itself and allied charge-type cookies to inflict damage over time nearby. Joining for the holiday are the defense-type "Hide-and-Seek Moon Rabbit Cookie," which transforms into a giant rice cake rabbit, and a new pet, "Colorful Pouch."

Combat content for deeper play is also being added. "Bustling Arena," seasonal competitive content pitting players against rivals across all servers, is opening, and "The Other Side of the Dimension," content for players who have cleared all stages, lets them strengthen stats with a dedicated progression element called "Dimensional Power" and take on bosses in stages.

Smilegate is running four events offering expanded rewards in Eclipse: The Awakening, which the company bills as "a new standard for MMORPGs," for the Chuseok holiday.

The four events are the "Chuseok Full Moon Festival," "Collect Eclipse Fragments and Build!," the "Eclipse Time Event" and Chuseok holiday login rewards. The "Chuseok Full Moon Festival" runs through Oct. 7.
