Cookie Run: New World — Devsisters annonserer ambisiøst åpent-verden-RPG

South Korean studio Devsisters has officially unveiled Cookie Run: New World, a brand-new 3D open-world game set in the popular Cookie Run universe. The announcement was made during the company’s annual DevNow 2026 showcase, confirming that this ambitious project is still several years away, with a planned release window in the late 2020s.

The reveal builds on earlier hints that Devsisters was preparing a major expansion of the Cookie Run franchise. In a February 2026 strategy update, the company confirmed it was developing an open-world title using Unreal Engine for PC, consoles, and mobile devices. At that time, the project was known under the codename “Project N” and was described as a key step toward reaching a broader global audience.

Official Reveal at DevNow 2026

“Project N” was formally introduced as Cookie Run: New World during the DevNow 2026 event on March 20. The showcase featured a 91-second announcement trailer, presenting the game as a large-scale, visually rich 3D experience with a vibrant open world.

While gameplay details remain scarce, a Devsisters representative described the project as an action RPG. The trailer focused more on atmosphere and world-building rather than mechanics, offering only a glimpse into the game’s scope and tone.

Planned Release Around 2029

Cookie Run: New World is currently targeting a 2029 launch, aligning with the 20th anniversary of the franchise. The original Cookie Run: OvenBreak debuted on June 12, 2009.

However, this timeframe should be seen as a broad target rather than a fixed release date. Given the complexity of modern game development, setting a precise launch window years in advance is rarely feasible. With many variables involved, the project is still likely in an early or mid-production phase.

Setting and Gameplay Overview

The game takes place after the era of the five legendary heroes in Cookie Run lore. Players will step into the role of a seemingly ordinary protagonist and explore the vast Cookie continent, uncovering its secrets and hidden locations.

During the journey, a mysterious threat will emerge, driving the central narrative forward. The open-world structure, combined with action RPG mechanics, suggests the presence of side quests and optional activities typical for the genre. However, specific gameplay systems have not yet been detailed, and many features may still be evolving.

Platforms and Open Questions

Cookie Run: New World will mark Devsisters’ first title developed simultaneously for PC, consoles, and mobile platforms. While not explicitly stated, “mobile” is expected to include both iOS and Android devices based on the company’s previous releases.

Key details about the game remain unknown, including:

• Whether it will be single-player or multiplayer
• Its monetization model (premium vs. free-to-play)
• The depth and structure of its gameplay systems

With development still ongoing, these aspects have yet to be finalized.
