Ten years of a running game
Cookie Run: OvenBreak launched in 2016, and the Cookie Run IP began as a running game. Over the past decade, the game's direction sometimes differed from what the developers thought right and was changed through player feedback, according to the roundtable.
The anniversary event includes a jumping event that raises a first cookie to max level for new and returning players. Cookie Run: OvenBreak has also run esports competitions, with finals held in Korea so far.
