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 going global! This exciting news, revealed at the Taipei Games Show, fulfills a prediction by our writer, Anderson Han, who previously highlighted the game's potential for international success.

Bilibili Games made a significant impact at the show, not only announcing the global launch but also showcasing the game with a unique marketing stunt: a Trickcal Re:Vive-themed Ferrari Itasha cruising the streets of Taipei, alongside a generous supply of merchandise. This suggests high expectations for the game's global reception.

Trickcal Re:Vive offers a refreshing take on the RPG genre. Players take on the role of an unexpected religious leader, recruiting over fifty apostles in a humorous, absurdist world. The game blends cute character designs with references spanning various pop culture icons, from Cyberpunk 2077 and Grand Theft Auto to a multitude of quirky subplots.

The Taipei Games Show presentation highlighted the game's over-the-top humor and ambitious scope. 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 global rollout is confirmed, and development is ongoing.
