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 following its successful showing at the Taipei Games Show. This exciting news fulfills a prediction by our writer, Anderson Han, who previously highlighted the game as a promising Korean mobile title ripe for international release.

Bilibili Games made a significant splash at the Taipei Games Show, not only announcing Trickcal Re:Vive's global launch but also showcasing the game with a unique marketing campaign. The game itself offers a refreshing departure from typical mobile RPGs. Players take on the role of an unexpected religious leader, recruiting over fifty apostles in a whimsical, absurdist world.

Despite its epic adventure premise, Trickcal Re:Vive embraces humor throughout. Expect cute character designs, and references spanning various pop culture touchstones, from Cyberpunk 2077 and Grand Theft Auto to a plethora of quirky subplots.

The Taipei Games Show featured a memorable Trickcal Re:Vive presence, including a Ferrari Itasha (a car decorated with anime-style artwork) transporting attendees around Taipei, and an abundance of merchandise. This significant marketing push, combined with the global launch announcement, signals Bilibili and Epid Games' high expectations for the game's international 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 team is currently finalizing the game for its global debut.
