Cookie Run: Kingdom's Version 5.6 Update: A Rollercoaster of Excitement and Controversy
The highly anticipated "Dark Resolution's Glorious Return" update (version 5.6) for Cookie Run: Kingdom is causing a stir amongst players. While boasting exciting new content, a controversial new rarity system has sparked significant backlash. Let's break down the good, the bad, and the ugly.
The Good: New Cookies and Content
This update delivers a wealth of fresh content, starting with two exciting new cookies:
Dragon Lord Dark Cacao Cookie: An Ancient+ rarity Charge-type cookie occupying a front-line position. His Awakened King skill unleashes devastating attacks, inflicting fatal wounds and CRIT Resist debuffs. He also boasts a powerful team-up with the Twin Dragons. A special Nether-Gacha increases the chances of obtaining him.
Peach Blossom Cookie: An Epic Support-type cookie positioned at the rear. Her Heavenly Fruit skill heals allies and provides Peach Bao fruits that enhance DMG Resist and Debuff Resist.
The update also introduces a new chapter in World Exploration, continuing Dark Cacao Cookie's saga in "Dark Resolution's Glorious Return," featuring stages with unique Yin and Yang effects.
The Bad and the Ugly: The Ancient+ Rarity Debacle
The introduction of the Ancient+ rarity, with a maximum 6-star promotion level, has proven deeply unpopular. With the game already featuring ten rarity levels, adding an eleventh has angered many players. The community feels that this creates an unnecessary power creep, rather than focusing on improvements to existing cookies.
The negative response was so intense that the Korean community and prominent guilds threatened a boycott. In response, the developers have postponed the update (originally scheduled for June 20th) to reconsider the changes. An official tweet confirmed the delay.
What's Next?
The future of the Ancient+ rarity remains uncertain. The developer's response shows a willingness to listen to player feedback, but the ultimate outcome is yet to be seen. Stay tuned for further updates. In the meantime, check out our other gaming news, including the upcoming Hearthstone update, "Perils in Paradise." What are your thoughts on this controversial update?
