It looks like our intrepid reporter Anderson Han deserves a round of applause, as one of his top picks for Korean mobile games is gearing up for a global launch. Trickcal Re:Vive, which was highlighted among other promising releases, has now been thrust into the spotlight by developer Bilibili Games at the Taipei Games Show, heralding its imminent worldwide debut.

So, what exactly is Trickcal Re:Vive? This unique game stands out as a turn-based, card-collecting RPG that diverges from the usual melodramatic flair seen in many games. Set in an absurdist universe, you step into the shoes of a protagonist who unexpectedly rises to lead a global religion, recruiting from a pool of over fifty apostles.

While the premise might suggest a serious tone, Trickcal Re:Vive injects a healthy dose of humor. From the adorable antics of its characters to playful nods at other games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Grand Theft Auto, the game weaves together a tapestry of both sublime and hilariously absurd subplots.

A specially wrapped Ferrari Itasha, emblazoned with the game's branding, chauffeured lucky attendees around Taipei. Alongside this, heaps of merchandise and the announcement of a global launch signal high expectations from Bilibili Games and Epid Games for Trickcal Re:Vive's performance on global storefronts.

As for the release date, we're still in the dark, with only the confirmation that a global rollout is in the works and development continues. Personally, I'd venture a guess at a late 2025 or early 2026 launch, though a mid-2025 release isn't out of the question either. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new game!
