Trickcal Re:Vive, the absurdist, turn-based, card-collecting RPG, is going global! This exciting news comes from Bilibili Games, who made a significant splash at the Taipei Games Show with the announcement. This title, previously highlighted by our writer Anderson Han as a Korean mobile game deserving of global attention, is finally making its way to a wider audience.
What is Trickcal Re:Vive? It's a unique departure from typical melodramatic RPGs. Players take on the role of an unexpected leader of a worldwide religion, recruiting over fifty apostles in a wildly humorous, absurdist world. Expect cute characters, anime tropes, and references ranging from Cyberpunk 2077 and Grand Theft Auto to a plethora of quirky subplots.
The Taipei Games Show showcased this over-the-top humor perfectly, featuring a Trickcal Re:Vive-themed Ferrari Itasha driving lucky attendees around Taipei. The abundance of merchandise and the global launch announcement clearly signal high expectations from Bilibili and Epid Games.
A precise release date remains unannounced, though a late 2025 or early 2026 launch seems plausible, with a potential for a mid-2025 release. The game is currently under development.
