First announced back in July 2020, NCSoft‘s revival of Trickster Online for mobile devices – simply called Trickster Mobile – has hit 2 million pre-registrations. The original IP was from NTREEV Soft which NCSoft had since acquired, with the mobile version having opened pre-registrations on 28 October. Trickster Mobile managed to hit 1 million pre-registrations on the first day alone.
Pre-registering requires a Korean mobile number, but those who sign up will be able to get a Chubby Chick pet, Poppuri Drill and a Cavalier supply set. You can pre-register via the official site. Trickster Online originally shut down all servers back in 2014, having had global, Korean and Japanese servers.
The game featured eight playable characters styled after animals, each coming to Caballa Island for their own reasons (primarily money). The eccentric billionaire Don Cavalier launches a game on Caballa Island as revealed by his will, with the winner able to secure his fortune. It eventually evolves into something deeper, as these things go, but the story was not fully concluded when the game was shut down. The initial announcement suggests that the mobile game will pick up where it left off.
Trickster Mobile will also keep some of the unique features from the original game, including the drilling mechanic for hidden underground items. No release date has been given for the release, so we’ll have to wait and see.
