Trickcal Re:Vive, the absurdist, turn-based, card-collecting RPG from Bilibili Games, is going global! This exciting news, revealed at the Taipei Games Show, fulfills a prediction made by our writer, Anderson Han, who highlighted the game as a promising Korean mobile title deserving of a wider release.
But what exactly is Trickcal Re:Vive? It's a unique blend of turn-based combat and card collection, set in a wildly comedic world. Players take on the unexpected role of a worldwide religion's leader, recruiting from over fifty apostles. Don't let the epic adventure fool you; Trickcal Re:Vive is packed with humor, featuring cute characters, and clever references spanning diverse pop culture icons, from Cyberpunk 2077 and Grand Theft Auto to a plethora of other, more obscure sources. The game's quirky subplots add to its overall charm.
The Taipei Games Show saw Bilibili Games pull out all the stops to promote Trickcal Re:Vive, including a show-stopping Ferrari Itasha (a car customized with anime-inspired designs) that transported lucky attendees around Taipei. This, coupled with an abundance of merchandise and the global launch announcement, clearly demonstrates Bilibili and Epid Games' high expectations for the game's success.
While a precise release date remains unannounced, a late 2025 or early 2026 launch seems plausible, though a mid-2025 release isn't entirely out of the question. The development is ongoing, so we'll have to wait and see.
