Trickcal: ReVive to get global launch and major fanfare at Taipei Games Show

Trickcal Re:Vive, the absurdist, turn-based, card-collecting RPG from Bilibili Games, is gearing up for a global mobile launch! This exciting news follows the developer's prominent showing at the Taipei Games Show. Anderson Han, a keen observer of the Korean mobile game market, had previously highlighted Trickcal Re:Vive as a title he hoped would see international release – a prediction that has now come to fruition.

Bilibili Games didn't just announce the global launch; they made a significant splash at the Taipei Games Show with a unique marketing campaign. A Ferrari Itasha, decked out in Trickcal Re:Vive branding, transported lucky attendees around Taipei, alongside a generous amount of merchandise. This suggests high expectations for the game's global performance.

But what exactly is Trickcal Re:Vive? It's a refreshing departure from typical melodramatic RPGs. Set in an absurd world, players recruit over fifty apostles and unexpectedly become the leader of a global religion. Despite the epic scope, the game boasts a strong comedic element, blending cute character designs with references ranging from Cyberpunk 2077 and Grand Theft Auto to numerous quirky subplots.

The over-the-top nature of the game was clearly on display at the Taipei Games Show. While a precise release date remains unannounced, a global launch is confirmed. Speculation points towards a release sometime between mid-2025 and early 2026.
