Every Cookie Run: Braverse Set in Order: Release Timeline & Buying Guide
Sorting out the Braverse release order is harder than it should be - set codes and card counts conflict everywhere. Here's a clean English-release timeline of every set, what each one added, and which to buy.
If you've tried to figure out the Cookie Run: Braverse release order, you've probably hit the same wall we did: set codes, card counts, and even pack configurations are reported inconsistently across retailers, wikis, and regional listings. Part of that is because the game launched in Korea back in 2023 and the English releases don't line up neatly with the original numbering.
So here's what this guide does: it gives you the English release order and dates (the part we can state with confidence), describes what each set added to the game, and is explicit about which details - specifically set codes and exact card counts - you should verify before relying on them. We'll keep this page updated as new sets land.
Every Braverse set in release order
This is the English-language booster release order as best we can confirm it. Dates are the parts we're confident about; the "what it added" column captures each set's identity.
| # | Set | English release | What it added |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Brave Beginning | July 2025 (NA launch) | The foundational set: the five colors and core card pool. |
| 2 | Operation Timeguard | 2025 | Introduced Dragon Cookie cards. |
| 3 | Age of Heroes and Kingdoms | October 2025 | Expanded the pool around heroes-and-kingdoms themes. |
| 4 | Arena of Glory | January 16, 2026 | Competitive-focused set; paired with a new starter-deck wave. |
| 5 | A Game of Truth and Deceit | March 27, 2026 | Added Shadow Milk Cookie variants and per-color Cookie "skins." |
[Verify each set's exact English release date and the precise ordering against the official site, since the North American schedule does not match the original Korean set numbering.]
Brave Beginning (the launch set)
Brave Beginning is where the English game starts. It released alongside the North American launch on July 11, 2025, and it's the set that establishes the fundamentals: the five colors, the core Cookies, and the building blocks every later set expands on.
If you're starting out, this is the most "evergreen" set to understand because so much of the game's vocabulary lives here. It's the natural companion to the original five color Starter Decks.
Operation Timeguard
Operation Timeguard is best known for introducing Dragon Cookie cards to the game - a new flavor of Cookie that showed up in starter products too (you'll see Dragon Cookies like Pitaya Dragon, Longan Dragon, and Lotus Dragon in the Arena of Glory starter wave). [Verify the Dragon Cookie mechanic's exact rules against the official rulebook; the cards are confirmed but the mechanic details should be checked.]
A heads-up on this one: Operation Timeguard's set code and card-count listings are some of the most inconsistent we found, likely because of differences between the Korean and English releases. Treat any specific number you see for it with extra suspicion. [Verify Operation Timeguard's English release details and card count.]
Age of Heroes and Kingdoms
Age of Heroes and Kingdoms released in English in October 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. As with every set, exact card counts vary by source, so confirm the number on the official database before quoting it. [Verify card count and contents.]
Arena of Glory
Arena of Glory landed on January 16, 2026, and it's a competitively flavored set - fittingly, it came paired with a fresh wave of Starter Decks featuring named Cookies for each color:
- Red: Jalapeño Cookie + Pitaya Dragon Cookie
- Yellow: Kouign-Amann Cookie + Croissant Cookie
- Green: Pudding à la Mode Cookie + Longan Dragon Cookie
- Blue: Cream Soda Cookie + Lotus Dragon Cookie
- Purple: Dark Cacao Cookie (a trash-based Awakening deck)
If you're buying a starter today, this is likely the wave you'll find on shelves. See our best starter deck ranking for which color to pick.
A Game of Truth and Deceit
The most recent set at the time of writing, A Game of Truth and Deceit, released on March 27, 2026. It's a flashy one thematically: it introduces Shadow Milk Cookie variants and per-color Cookie "skins" with new mechanics, and features a lineup of marquee Cookies including Burning Spice, Mystic Flour, Golden Cheese, Dark Cacao, and Frost Queen. [Verify the exact new mechanics and card list against the official site; the theme and featured Cookies are confirmed but the rules of the new "skin" mechanics should be checked.]
For collectors, the marquee Cookies in a set like this are usually where the flashiest Secret-rarity chase cards live - see our rarities and collecting guide.
What's coming next in 2026
Devsisters has signaled more Braverse product for 2026: reporting points to two additional booster sets later in the year (one mid-year, one toward the end), with the later set expected to arrive alongside another starter-deck release. There have also been teasers around Legendary Pets debuting in new starter decks.
Treat all of this as a roadmap, not a shipped fact - announced products slip, change names, and shift dates. [Verify whether any of these 2026 products have actually released, and their final names and dates, before relying on them.] We'll fold them into the timeline above as they land.
A note on set codes and card counts
Two things you'll see online that we deliberately did not put in the table above:
- Set codes (like BS1-BS10). These exist, but the English release order does not track the codes in ascending order - the codes come from the original Korean numbering, and the English market released sets in a different sequence. Mapping a code to an English set without confirming it is a recipe for being wrong. [Verify the canonical English set-code mapping on the official site.]
- Exact card counts. Listings disagree, sometimes wildly, on how many "regular" and "hidden" cards each set contains - probably due to region and printing differences. We won't print a count we can't stand behind. [Verify per-set card counts on the official card database.]
If you need these specifics, the official card database at play.cookieruntcg.com/cards is the source of truth. This is 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 current Starter Deck (the Arena of Glory wave), not loose boosters. You get a full deck immediately.
- 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 A Game of Truth and Deceit) 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.
