| Cookie Run: Kingdom began development in October 2016 and was released four years later. To expand the Cookie Run IP and create Cookie Run: Kingdom, the development team aimed to combine two types of games: social-network games (SNG) and role-playing games (RPG). This combination meant that, for the developers, there would be an increase in workload and cost. Cookie Run: Kingdom was launched on January 19, 2021.The game has had several collaborations that feature limited characters. In September 2021, Sonic Cookie and Tails Cookie were added as part of Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog's 30th anniversary. 2022 saw two collaborations with dedicated updates: Festival of Dreams and Wishes introduced Disney Cookies as Guests and ran between July and September 2022, and Braver Together, which added the members of BTS as playable Cookies, ran between October and January 2023. In November 2025, a collaboration with Universal's Wicked franchise added Glinda and Elphaba, as depicted in the Wicked films, as playable Cookies. The Chinese version also received a few collaborations in 2024, starting with Guest Cookies based on popular Want Want snacks were in January 2024, and then with characters from Empresses in the Palace as guests in July 2024, with Zhen Huan being a playable Cookie. Furthermore, the Chinese version also has a number of mainland China-exclusive features and content that are not present in the global version and therefore are only exclusive to that version. |
