I personally think that Ovenbreak is actually a move to make Devsisters independent from Line/Kakao, as well as trying to recycle the Cookie Run franchise - for me, two biggest mistakes on Cookie Run right now are: (1) that the game are now has lost major players and only few loyalists left, with the system that would not benefit new players because we already had too much pets/cookies to handle for new players (2) creating the system where Crystal-generating treasures are easily obtained, then making players no longer purchase Crystals, and then ratifying it with the new system that gave much smaller chances of Crystal-generating treasures, that once again burdens the newer players catching up the game. The result is, the gap between new players and veterans are even wider than ever.

Releasing Ovenbreak as the next series of Cookie Run isn't risk-free as well. It's the real survival test for Devsisters, because let's say that Devsisters has never grown any significantly major and noticeable success games/apps since of Ovenbreak re-released as Cookie Run in Line/Kakao back in 2013.

My best guess is, two things will happen:
 * 1) The new Ovenbreak game will be an independent success, and they will finally depart from Line/Kakao (aka closing the game when the contract with Line is over, which is not now, but I'm guessing between 2018-2019)
 * 2) Ovenbreak will not make a huge success, so they will stick out of a different strategy (staying LCR/KCR alive, trying a whole new game system, or for the worst - RIP Devsisters).
