Pinchable Cheeks and Big Rewards: Trickcal: Chibi Go Opens Pre-Registration on iOS and Android

The irresistibly cute world of the “Squeezy Cheeks” is coming to mobile. Bilibili Games, in partnership with South Korean studio Epid GAMES, has announced that pre-registration for its casual collectible card RPG, Trickcal: Chibi Go, is now officially open on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. This announcement comes just ahead of the game’s highly-anticipated appearance at Tokyo Game Show 2025, where it will be showcased to the public with a playable demo, exclusive merchandise, and a host of on-site activities. The game promises a stress-free and charming experience, focusing on low-stakes, high-fun gameplay that’s perfect for a relaxed gaming session.

A Journey with “Squeezy Cheeks”

Trickcal: Chibi Go, formerly known as Trickcal Revive, is a lighthearted gacha RPG set in the world of Elias, a land centered around the World Tree. Players are cast as the new head of a religious cult, tasked with leading a group of adorable “Apostles” on an adventure. The game’s main draw is its vibrant art style and its cast of quirky, big-cheeked characters, each with their own unique personality and a fully-voiced story. Key features that make the game a compelling addition to the mobile RPG genre include:

• Low-Grind, High-Fun: The game is designed to be a casual experience. Daily tasks are said to take as little as 10 minutes to complete, ensuring players can progress and enjoy the story without a heavy time commitment.
• A Hilarious Story: The game is packed with a goofy, memetic story and lighthearted daily life scenarios that stand in contrast to the often dark narratives of other RPGs.
• Deep Character Progression: While the core gameplay is casual, there’s a lot of depth for players who want to dive in. You can strengthen your characters and your “Order” through a variety of dungeons and by collecting materials to create new items.
• Strategic Combat: The gameplay blends turn-based card battles with a touch of auto-chess, allowing for a mix of strategy and passive progression.

Pre-Registration Rewards and TGS Presence

To celebrate the pre-registration opening, Bilibili Games is offering a number of generous rewards to players who sign up early. The pre-registration campaign includes a tiered reward system, where reaching certain milestones will unlock progressively better prizes for all players. The ultimate prize for reaching a global milestone of 1 million pre-registrations is a massive 130 free draws, a selectable 3-star character (Vivi), and other premium rewards. Additionally, players who pre-register through both the app stores and the official website and share a screenshot will be entered into a raffle to win an iPhone 16 Pro Max.

The game’s appearance at Tokyo Game Show 2025, from September 25 to September 28, is a clear sign of Bilibili Games’ commitment to a global launch. Visitors to their booth will be able to play the game firsthand, get a closer look at the “Squeezy Cheeks” at a towering photo spot, and take home exclusive merchandise. The game’s presence at one of the world’s largest gaming conventions underscores its potential and builds excitement for its full release. With its focus on a cute and charming experience, Trickcal: Chibi Go is poised to make a big splash in the mobile market.
