Our globetrotting writer Anderson Han can certainly take a moment to celebrate, as one of his top picks for Korean mobile games, Trickcal Re:Vive, is gearing up for a global launch. Developer Bilibili Games made waves at the Taipei Games Show with the announcement of Trickcal Re:Vive's impending release to a worldwide audience.
So, what exactly is Trickcal Re:Vive? This game stands out as a turn-based, card-collecting RPG that offers a refreshing departure from the often melodramatic themes found in similar titles. Set in an absurdist world, the game follows the protagonist who unexpectedly becomes the leader of a global religion and must recruit from over fifty different apostles.
Despite the epic nature of its storyline, Trickcal Re:Vive is keen on injecting humor into its narrative. From the charm of cute characters engaging in whimsical antics to playful references spanning from Cyberpunk 2077 to Grand Theft Auto, the game weaves together a tapestry of both sublime and ridiculous subplots.
**Rev up your engines** The spirit of over-the-top absurdity was vividly displayed at this year's Taipei Games Show, where Trickcal Re:Vive was showcased alongside a specially wrapped Ferrari Itasha, offering rides to fortunate attendees around Taipei. Accompanied by an array of merchandise, the global launch announcement underscores Bilibili and Epid Games' high expectations for Trickcal Re:Vive as it prepares to hit global storefronts.
As for the release date, specifics remain under wraps with development still ongoing. However, a safe bet might be a late 2025 or early 2026 launch, though a mid-2025 release isn't out of the question. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates on this exciting global release!
