CookieRun: OvenSmash Pre-Registration Opens, Bringing Real-Time PvP Arena Combat to Mobile

CookieRun: OvenSmash, the franchise's first foray into real-time PvP action, is now open for pre-registration on iOS and Android across Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong via publisher VNGGames.

The title marks a major shift for developer Devsisters, moving away from classic runner mechanics into fast-paced, skill-based arena combat.

High-Intensity 3-Minute Arenas

Set in Platter City—a new urban fantasy hub uniting fan favorites like GingerBrave alongside original roster additions—OvenSmash centers on short, high-intensity matches lasting up to three minutes.

Unlike progression systems heavily reliant on stat grinding, OvenSmash emphasizes mechanical execution, strategic positioning, and real-time decision-making over time invested.

8 Distinct Character Roles Players can choose across classes including Mage, Tank, Marksman, and Assassin to build balanced team compositions suited to their playstyle.

Spell Cards Game-changing active abilities allow teams to turn the tide of battle, introducing dynamic meta shifts and combo experimentation.

Competitive Depth Performance directly dictates rank progression. Success relies heavily on timing, awareness, and how well teams execute under pressure rather than out-leveling opponents.

Diverse Game Modes The game features multiple ways to play, including standard objective modes like Castle Crasher alongside chaotic formats such as Wild Royale and Gnome Battle.

Pre-Registration Rewards and Physical Prizes

VNGGames has kicked off early sign-ups with tiered milestone rewards for mobile players on iOS and Android.

In-Game Currency & Items Early registrants receive bonus Coins, Crystals, and exclusive cosmetics upon launch.

Milestone Rewards Reaching community sign-up targets unlocks larger rewards, culminating in the Summer Spirit Set skin at 1 million pre-registrations.

Physical Collectibles Select pre-registered participants will also be eligible to win limited-edition themed accessories and collectibles tied to the regional launch campaign.
