GameSpot: How did this collaboration come about?
Taehyoung Kim:We considered three things when deciding on another IP to collaborate with.
We also considered the differences.
We wanted to find characters with a different look and feel from our own.
We appreciated how Cookie Run Kingdom conceptually has a lot of fun and lovable characters.
I personally had a lot of fun playing Cookie Run Kingdom.
It is a well-made game with lots of cute elements which makes for a satisfying experience.
What, in your opinion, made Cookie Run: Kingdom a good fit for Summoners War?
It is a turn-based collection RPG with lots of unique characters.
We were able to easily come up with ideas on how to carry out the collaboration.
There are multiple cookie characters in Cookie Run: Kingdom.
How did you narrow the list down to the five you’ve chosen?
We wanted the characters we selected to be different from what you would expect to see in Summoners War.
Will there be a lore/story explanation regarding how these two universes have joined together?
If so, what’s the story there?
Kim:We didnt give a particular story to the two worlds meeting.
We incorporated simple conversations in the beginning of the collaboration content, but they dont involve in-depth story.
One of the cookies, GingerBrave, will be rewarded to the players as part of an event.
Also, well be introducing a brand new special item called the Kairos Dungeon Rune Set Fix.
Can you give us more details on those special events?
How do they stand out from the normal Summoners War experience?
The Red Velvet Dragon will appear as the boss in these dungeons.
How long will the crossover event run?
It seems all the characters are the same relative size.
Are the cookie people just giant cookies, or are the Summoners really small?
Kim:That’s an interesting question.
Actually, there are size differences between each cookie.
