Limited-time event brings the world of KPop Demon Hunters into CookieRun: Kingdom with new playable characters, story content, and fan-focused in-game experiences
SEOUL, South Korea – April 8, 2026 – Devsisters today launched their KPop Demon Hunters x CookieRun: Kingdom collaboration, a limited-time series of in-game activations that bring the world of KPop Demon Hunters into the hit mobile RPG through new playable Cookies, storylines, rewards, and more! The collaboration is live now and runs through May 6 at 4:59 PM ET/1:59 PM PT.
With more than 300 million cumulative players worldwide and over $1 billion in lifetime revenue, CookieRun has already grown far beyond its roots as a mobile runner. Now paired with the global phenomenon of KPop Demon Hunters, hot off its Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song win at the 98th Academy Awards, this collaboration marks a major crossover moment for two brands that continue to dominate the cultural conversation.
Inside the game, players jump into a new story set in the Dark Cacao Kingdom, recruit HUNTR/X Cookies, battle through limited-time modes, play mini-games for rewards, and decorate their Kingdom with themed costumes, music, and decor inspired by KPop Demon Hunters. From story progression and combat to collection and customization, the update offers players a range of meaningful ways to experience the intersection of two of their favorite universes.
Highlights from the collaboration include:
- Special Episode, “HUNTR/X Show in the Cookie World!”, in which the Saja Boys and a horde of demons invade the Dark Cacao Kingdom. Sing alongside HUNTR/X to protect the Cookie Honmoon.
- Three new playable HUNTR/X Cookies that players can add to their teams, each with a different battle role:
- Rumi Cookie, a fast, close-range fighter whose divine singing can move any audience and whose blade can vanquish even the strongest demons. Rumi also carries a well-guarded secret that even her fellow HUNTR/X members do not know.
- Mira Cookie, a front-line fighter built to rush into battle and apply heavy, up-close pressure. Though blunt and short-fused, Mira’s powerful dancing can tear down walls between Cookies and bring color back to life.
- Zoey Cookie, a distance-based attacker whose fearless rap style and onstage charisma make her a standout in both performance and combat. From afar, she pierces demons like a sharp blade without needing to get in close.
- Limited-time gameplay modes and event battles that give players new ways to fight and earn rewards, including:
- Live! Survival on Stage, a survival-style mode featuring the HUNTR/X Cookies. Complete the Set List missions to earn rewards!
- Gwi-Ma! Demon Distress, a special boss raid where players battle Gwi-ma, the demon king, to protect the Cookie World.
- A collaboration mini-game that offers additional ways to interact with the event and collect rewards:
- Derpy’s Catch the Jelly Worm: Race to scoop up Jelly Worms and aim for the highest score
- New cosmetics and Kingdom decor that let players bring the crossover into their own in-game space, including:
- Themed costumes for HUNTR/X and the Saja Boys
- Four interactive buildings that can be placed in the Kingdom to trigger unique character motions and play music
The CookieRun: Kingdom x KPop Demon Hunters collaboration is live now through May 6 in CookieRun: Kingdom, which is available for free on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
