Cookie Run: Kingdom's Version 5.6 Update: A Rollercoaster of Hype and Backlash
Cookie Run: Kingdom's highly anticipated Version 5.6 update, "Dark Resolution's Glorious Return," promised a wave of new content, including cookies, episodes, events, and more. However, the update's reception has been a mixed bag, sparking significant controversy within the community.
The Good: New Cookies and Content
The update introduces Dragon Lord Dark Cacao Cookie, an Ancient+ rarity Cookie with a powerful Charge-type skill, and Peach Blossom Cookie, a new Epic Support Cookie. A special Nether-Gacha offers increased odds of obtaining Dragon Lord Dark Cacao Cookie. Additionally, a new World Exploration episode continues Dark Cacao Cookie's story, featuring unique Yin and Yang battle stages.
The Bad and the Ugly: The Ancient+ Rarity Controversy
The introduction of the Ancient+ rarity, a new tier above the existing ten rarities, proved to be a major point of contention. This addition allows for 6-star max promotion levels for rare cookies, but the community reacted negatively to the developers' choice to introduce a new rarity instead of enhancing existing characters.
The backlash was swift and significant. The Korean Cookie Run community and prominent player guilds threatened a boycott, prompting the developers to postpone the update's June 20th launch to reconsider the changes. An official tweet confirmed the delay and promised further updates.
The Future of Version 5.6
The fate of the Ancient+ rarity remains uncertain, pending the developers' reevaluation. The community's strong reaction highlights the importance of player feedback in game development. The situation serves as a reminder of the potential consequences of significant changes without adequate community consultation. Keep an eye out for further updates on the revised Version 5.6 release.
