The power of 'Cheeks'! Trickcal KakaoTalk Emoticon, Ranked #1 in Popularity Across All Age Groups
Epid Games' 'Trickcal' Official KakaoTalk Emoticon Ranks #1 in Popularity Among All Ages on KakaoTalk.
Epid Games released the first 'Trickcal' official KakaoTalk emoticon, 'Trickcal Cheek Con 1,' on the 13th. This emoticon consists of 24 types of emotional expressions featuring popular characters from the game, such as Erpin, Ner, and Butter. In particular, as 'Trickcal' is famous for various memes, it is characterized by wittily capturing various internet memes, such as parodies of the company's game 'Great Success,' as well as stock graphs and blog cartoon GIF parodies.
Meanwhile, 'Trickcal,' which was released in September 2023, has been noted for its unique cute art style represented by 'cheeks' and its sense of exquisitely capturing memes. In particular, it showed an active attitude towards meme-ification, such as sublimating the pain of having to switch to OBT after being released once in September 2021 into a gag. On the other hand, it has been steadily updating the game to normalize it, such as providing the 'Theme Theater,' a bi-weekly event story, with full dubbing, and providing the character for free while undergoing renewals from time to time. Thanks to these efforts, the 1st anniversary special broadcast of the 'Dangerous Invitation' entertainment concept surpassed 100,000 live viewers, and according to Sensor Tower statistics, it recorded the achievement of ranking #1 in Korean mobile game revenue growth in 2024. It seems that it has taken first place in popularity among all ages of KakaoTalk emoticons thanks to its cute characters, sense, and this trend.
An Epid Games official said, "This is an achievement made possible by the love of many Church Leaders who love Trickcal," and added, "We will continue to work hard to prepare so that you can feel the fun inside and outside the game."
