Devsisters Co., Ltd. (CEO Jo Gil-hyun)'s development studio Studio Kingdom Co., Ltd. (Co-CEOs Jo Gil-hyun, Lee Eun-ji) has updated its mobile RPG Cookie Run: Kingdom with the 'Sweet Slumber Sanctuary' update, revealing a new world exploration episode and Beast-grade Cookie.

◼ Hidden Traps Behind Sweet Rest, New Episode ‘Sweet Slumber Sanctuary’ Open

The ninth episode of the Beast-East World, 'Sweet Slumber Sanctuary,' has been released. Amidst the powerful threats of the Beasts, Hollyberry Cookie heads to the Beast-East continent with the Hollyberry Kingdom scouts and, contrary to expectations, encounters a cozy and sweet sugar paradise. However, Hollyberry Cookie's passion is put to the test in the comforting rest offered by this enchanting paradise.

In some stages of this episode, the land effect 'Eternalsugar Cookie's Blessing!' is applied, allowing you to collect heart items dropped when defeating monsters to activate 'Speed ​​Boost'. The 'Rationalization' land effect, which appears from stage 9-3, inflicts debuffs such as reduced attack power and attack speed, and increased damage taken when damaged by enemies, but conversely acts as buffs for Eternalsugar Cookie and Pavlova Cookie. The tactical skill 'Dazzling Strike' spreads beautiful wings to damage enemies and enhances the attack power and critical hit ability of allies.

◼ Beast of Sloth ‘Eternalsugar Cookie’, Sharpshooter of Love ‘Pavlova Cookie’ Appear

Following the Beast of Lies 'Shadowmilk Cookie', the fourth Beast-grade Cookie 'Eternalsugar Cookie' has been released. Eternalsugar Cookie had a mission to give happiness to all Cookies, but after experiencing the sadness of everything he loved easily breaking, he created a sweet paradise that would never break. Like Eternalsugar Cookie's declaration that eternal happiness lies only in sloth, it is said that no Cookie who has ever set foot in this paradise has ever escaped.

Eternalsugar Cookie is an explosive Cookie that uses the 'Eternal Rapture' skill, restoring its health above the clouds and granting allies a health shield and immunity. Meanwhile, it blows a sugar wind at enemies to charm them, inflicting the 'Sweet Temptation' debuff. In addition, it inflicts the 'Self-Blame' debuff on enemies who attack it with fatal beauty, dealing damage and applying an effect that increases damage taken and reduces healing amount when the maximum stack is reached.

The Epic-grade 'Pavlova Cookie', which was added together, is an angel character with meringue wings and a sweet and sour berry halo, and is a shooting-type Cookie with the ability to see through even the hidden emotions of Cookies. The skill 'Heart-Piercing Arrow' showers enemies with arrows to deal damage and inflict the 'Red Thread' debuff, and increases the critical hit chance and critical hit damage of all allies. If you use a skill on an enemy with the maximum stack of the Red Thread debuff, it will charm the enemy.

Meanwhile, the second season of the PvE challenge content 'Boss Rush', in which various Cookies are strategically placed to attack multiple bosses in succession, has opened. In this season, the system that allows you to obtain various synergy effects depending on the Cookie combination within the team has been strengthened. Up to 6 synergies can be combined, and strategic Cookie selection and placement has become even more important as different combinations are advantageous for each boss. Boss Rush Season 2 is divided into the first half, which runs until the 20th, and the second half, which runs from the 21st to the 3rd of next month, and rankings are tallied after each season ends.
