DevSisters Launches New VR Title 'Cookie Run: The Darkest Knight' Globally

DevSisters announced on the 1st that it has officially launched Chapter 1 of the virtual reality (VR) action adventure game "Cookie Run: The Darkest Night," developed by its in-house development group, Freshdew, on a global scale.

"Cookie Run: The Darkest Night" is the first VR title in the Cookie Run game franchise. Through a first-person VR environment, players explore various parts of the witch's castle from the perspective of a small cookie and fight against gigantic enemies. It is designed to allow players to directly experience the joy of growing by interacting with fellow cookies.

As a brave cookie, players navigate through locations with different themes such as the bakery, laboratory, auditorium, and forge, moving between large furniture used by the witch and small structures made by gnomes for the cookies. In these spaces, players engage in various battles and complete missions while acquiring currency and items to craft weapons and enhance character abilities. The game offers elements of adventure, action, and role-playing game (RPG) enjoyment.

Jo Hyun-sang, Project Director of Freshdew, said, "Through VR technology, we wanted to deliver a new dimension of intellectual property (IP) experience where players can see and feel the world directly from the cookie’s perspective." He added, "Players will be able to enjoy the unique and diverse gameplay of 'Cookie Run: The Darkest Night,' including character and story-based adventure, action, collection, and growth, which are the strengths of Cookie Run."

Meanwhile, "Cookie Run: The Darkest Night" is the first new VR game developed in Korea to be released on the Meta Quest 3 official store after its launch. Upon release, it will be available as a demo game in Meta Quest 3 retail stores worldwide, including Korea, the United States, and Japan, and will also be showcased offline to global customers.
