Every Cookie Run: Braverse Set in Order: Release Timeline & Buying Guide

Sorting out the Braverse release order is harder than it should be - the set codes don't run in order. Here's a clean release-date timeline of every booster set, what each one added, and which to buy.

Shadow Milk Cookie, the headline Cookie of the Braverse set A Game of Truth and Deceit.

If you've tried to figure out the Cookie Run: Braverse release order, you've probably hit the same wall we did: set codes and card counts get reported inconsistently across retailers, wikis, and regional listings. Part of that is because the booster product names don't map cleanly onto the underlying set-code numbering, so it's easy to wind up with the sets in the wrong order.

So here's what this guide does: it lays out every booster set in release order, with dates, describes what each one added to the game, and is explicit about which details - specifically the set codes - don't behave the way you'd expect. We'll keep this page updated as new sets land.

Every Braverse set in release order

Here's the full booster release order, oldest to newest, current through May 2026.

#SetRelease dateWhat it added
1Brave BeginningOctober 30, 2024The foundational set: the five colors and core card pool. Launched alongside the original five Starter Decks.
2Age of Heroes and KingdomsMarch 13, 2025Expanded the pool around heroes-and-kingdoms themes.
3Operation TimeguardJune 8, 2025Leaned into Dragon Cookie cards.
4Arena of GlorySeptember 4, 2025Competitive-flavored set built around the Arena keyword.
5Land of Fire & Ruin, Realm of ApathyOctober 28, 2025The "Beast" set: marquee Cookies like Burning Spice, Mystic Flour, Golden Cheese, and Frost Queen.
6A Game of Truth and DeceitJanuary 29, 2026Added Shadow Milk Cookie and a wave of new color-spanning Cookies.
7Paradise of Passion & Sloth / Catacombs of SilenceMarch 20, 2026A twin-themed expansion across the color pool.
8The Dark Enchantress WarMay 27, 2026The newest set, headlined by the Dark Enchantress storyline.

One quirk to know up front: the set codes you'll see online (BS1, BS3, BS5...) don't run as a tidy 1, 2, 3 sequence, because the card-number prefixes and the booster product names don't line up one-to-one. The release order above is what actually matters - see the note further down for why the codes look the way they do.

Brave Beginning (the launch set)

Brave Beginning is where the game starts. It released on October 30, 2024, and it's the set that establishes the fundamentals: the five colors, the core Cookies, and the building blocks every later set expands on. It launched alongside the original five color Starter Decks (Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple).

If you're starting out, this is the most "evergreen" set to understand because so much of the game's vocabulary lives here.

Age of Heroes and Kingdoms

Age of Heroes and Kingdoms released on March 13, 2025, expanding the card pool with a heroes-and-kingdoms theme. It's a meaningful chunk of new cards for deck-builders across all five colors, including the first big wave of Ancient Cookies like Golden Cheese and White Lily.

Operation Timeguard

Pitaya Dragon Cookie, a Dragon Cookie that anchors Braverse's Operation Timeguard set.

Operation Timeguard released on June 8, 2025, and it's the set that leaned hardest into Dragon Cookie cards - you'll find Pitaya Dragon, Longan Dragon, Lotus Dragon, and Ananas Dragon Cookies in its lineup. The Dragon Cookies are well-established, but their exact rules interactions are worth confirming against the official rulebook before a sanctioned event.

Arena of Glory

Arena of Glory landed on September 4, 2025, and it's a competitively flavored set built around the Arena keyword - a mechanic that rewards cycling Cookies through your support area and battle area. It's where you'll find the Arena versions of Cookies like Chili Pepper, Capsaicin, Kouign-Amann, and Dark Choco.

Land of Fire & Ruin, Realm of Apathy

Frost Queen Cookie, one of the marquee Cookies featured in the Land of Fire & Ruin, Realm of Apathy Braverse set.

Land of Fire & Ruin, Realm of Apathy released on October 28, 2025, and it's one of the flashiest sets for collectors. It's home to a stacked lineup of marquee Cookies - Burning Spice, Mystic Flour, Golden Cheese, and Frost Queen among them - plus the Beast keyword and a set of EXTRA Cookies. For collectors, sets like this are where the flashiest Secret-rarity chase cards live - see our rarities and collecting guide.

A Game of Truth and Deceit

A Game of Truth and Deceit released on January 29, 2026. It's the set headlined by Shadow Milk Cookie, alongside a wave of new Cookies spanning the color pool. The theme and featured Cookies are well-established, but the full card list is worth confirming against the official database before you rely on it.

Paradise of Passion & Sloth / Catacombs of Silence

Paradise of Passion & Sloth / Catacombs of Silence released on March 20, 2026 - a twin-themed expansion (the slash in the name reflects its dual concept) that added cards across all five colors. It's recent enough that sealed product is still easy to find.

The Dark Enchantress War (the newest set)

Dark Cacao Cookie, who returns among the lineup of Braverse's newest set, The Dark Enchantress War.

The Dark Enchantress War is the newest booster set, released on May 27, 2026, built around the Dark Enchantress storyline. As the freshest set, it's where the latest Secret-rarity chase Cookies are, and sealed product is most available right after release.

A note on set codes

Here's the thing about the set codes you'll see online (BS1, BS3, BS5, and so on): they do not run as a clean 1, 2, 3 sequence that matches release order. The card-number prefixes (you'll even spot BS2, BS4, and BS6 numbers in the database) are waves and sub-sets that don't map one-to-one onto the booster product names. So if you try to order the sets by their code numbers, you'll get it wrong.

The release-date order in the table above is the reliable way to think about it. If you want to dig into specific card numbers or counts, the official card database at play.cookieruntcg.com/cards is the source of truth, and it's exactly the kind of detail we'll keep refreshed here so you don't have to chase conflicting numbers.

Which set should you buy?

A practical buying order for different goals:

  • Brand new and want to play? Start with a Starter Deck, not loose boosters. You get a full deck immediately. There are ten to choose from now: the original five color decks, plus five newer named decks (Flames of Immortality, Tree of Life, Guardian Winds, Seas of Fate, and Glorious Moonlight).
  • Ready to upgrade your deck? Buy singles or packs from the most recent set your color is supported in - newer sets are easiest to find sealed and keep your collection current.
  • Collecting the chase cards? The newest set (currently The Dark Enchantress War) is where the freshest Secret-rarity Cookies are, and sealed product is most available right after release.

Whatever you buy, pair it with our deck-building basics so your new cards actually make your deck better, and check how to play if you're still learning the ropes.
