Evaluation

Cookie Cutter launched on December 14, 2023 and has received sustained post-launch development. A feature patch arrived on April 3, 2024, followed by the major "Overkill Edition" free update on March 13, 2025, which added full voice acting across the entire story, new cutscenes, new NPCs, a new combat ability, additional languages, and extensive bug fixes. On October 28, 2025, the developer posted a significant announcement called the "Divorce Plan," confirming they had fully separated from their previous publishing arrangement and regained independent control of the game. This post contained several concrete commitments: a new mission called "Adebisi Robots" for the Crystal Pits area, continued bug fixes and new features, porting of the Overkill Edition update to Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5, and potential new DLC if community support grows. They stated explicitly, "We're just getting started." A follow-up update on November 9, 2025 provided further progress on the Divorce Plan. The most recent developer communication on record is November 9, 2025. As of today, October 1, 2026, that is approximately 11 months of silence — which is notable. However, the developer made specific, named commitments (the "Adebisi Robots" mission, platform ports) that have not been publicly fulfilled or walked back. There is no subsequent statement cancelling or concluding these plans. The outstanding commitments announced on October 28, 2025 remain unresolved, and the developer has not issued any completion or shutdown notice. The content planned signal remains warranted based on those unmet commitments, though the extended silence since November 2025 is worth monitoring.
Evidence
Developer announced 'Divorce Plan': full independence from prior publisher, with specific commitments to ship a new mission ('Adebisi Robots' in Crystal Pits), port the Overkill Edition to Nintendo Switch and PS5, add more fixes and quests, and potentially release new DLC with sufficient community support. Developer stated 'we're just getting started.'

About this game

Fueled by love but driven by rage, Cherry embarks on a blood-soaked quest for revenge, explores the massive Megastructure, and eviscerates the armies of Infonet in a best-in-class action-adventure that breaks tropes and bones. Cookie Cutter, which IGN calls a “GORY, GORGEOUS, AND BLOODY GOOD METROIDVANIA,” features lovingly crafted hand-drawn 2D visuals, challenging and satisfying combat, a wild dystopian world full of irreverent characters, buckets of violence, and underneath it all a sweet, beautiful story.

As Cherry, a chainsaw-wielding, uppercut-dealing, barrier-smashing, gore-splattering android with a mean streak, players will journey into the high-tech underbelly of a dystopian society, meet allies, slay enemies, battle epic bosses, discover new regions and unlock new abilities. What secrets does the Megastructure promise? Cherry and her fearless friends must find out if she has any hope of saving her creator, Shinji Fallon, from a ruthless villain determined to rule at any cost.


Play this techno-pop-punk post-kawaii Metroidvania for yourself and learn why Den of Geek raves that Cookie Cutter is “EASILY ONE OF THE BEST METROIDVANIAS OF THE YEAR.”
