Cookie Run: Kingdom's Version 5.6 Update: "Dark Resolution's Glorious Return" - A Mixed Bag

Cookie Run: Kingdom's Version 5.6 update, "Dark Resolution's Glorious Return," is a double-edged sword, bringing exciting new content alongside a controversial rarity system change. The update includes new Cookies, story episodes, events, toppings, and treasures.

The Good:

• Dragon Lord Dark Cacao Cookie: This Ancient+ Cookie is a Charge-type frontline fighter with a powerful Awakened King skill that inflicts fatal wounds and a CRIT Resist debuff. He also boasts a special team-up attack with the Twin Dragons. A dedicated Nether-Gacha: Light of True Resolution increases the chances of acquiring him, guaranteeing him every 250 pulls.

• Peach Blossom Cookie: A new Epic Support Cookie who heals allies and provides DMG Resist and Debuff Resist buffs with her Heavenly Fruit skill.

• New World Exploration Episode: Dark Cacao Cookie's story continues in "Dark Resolution's Glorious Return," featuring Yin and Yang battle stages.

The Controversial:

The introduction of the Ancient+ rarity, with a maximum 6-star promotion level, has sparked significant backlash. This new rarity, the eleventh in the game, is viewed negatively by many players who feel it's unnecessary and dilutes the existing rarity system. Instead of enhancing existing Cookies, introducing a new, higher rarity is seen as a cynical money-making tactic.

The Backlash:

The Korean Cookie Run community and prominent player guilds threatened a boycott over the Ancient+ rarity. In response to this outcry, the developers have postponed the update, initially scheduled for June 20th, to re-evaluate the changes. Official announcements are expected soon.
