It looks like our globetrotting writer Anderson Han deserves a round of applause because one of his top picks for Korean mobile games to go global is finally making that leap! Trickcal Re:Vive, which was highlighted alongside other promising titles, has just been announced for a worldwide release by developer Bilibili Games at the Taipei Games Show. This announcement certainly made a splash!
So, what exactly is Trickcal Re:Vive? This game is a refreshing twist on the genre, presenting itself as an absurdist, turn-based, card-collecting RPG. Unlike some of the more melodramatic releases, Trickcal Re:Vive introduces players to an over-the-top, humor-filled world where you step into the shoes of a protagonist who unexpectedly finds themselves leading a global religion. With over fifty apostles to recruit, the game offers a unique take on the RPG experience.
Don't let the epic adventure fool you—Trickcal Re:Vive is all about injecting humor into gameplay. From cute characters engaging in adorable antics to clever nods at games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Grand Theft Auto, the game is filled with both sublime and ridiculous subplots that keep the experience light-hearted and engaging.
**Rev up your engines** The Taipei Games Show was a testament to the game's quirky charm, featuring a specially wrapped Ferrari Itasha that drove lucky guests around Taipei. Along with heaps of merchandise, the announcement of the global launch signals high expectations from Bilibili Games and Epic Games for Trickcal Re:Vive's success on global platforms.
As for the release date, while specifics remain under wraps, the global launch is confirmed to be in the works. My best guess? We might see Trickcal Re:Vive hit the global market sometime between late 2025 and early 2026, though a mid-2025 release isn't out of the question either. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates!
