The extensive hiring push across multiple disciplines indicates Trickcal Patima is still in pre-production, meaning a release is likely years away despite the teaser's arrival.

EPID Games, the developer behind the mobile game "Trickcal: Mochi Mochi Hoppe Daisakusen," released a teaser PV for its next project, "Trickcal Patima," on June 29, 2026. The teaser video showcases multiple characters with the rounded, mochi-like cheeks that defined the original Trickcal's art style. Alongside the PV, a teaser website has also gone live. Specific details about the game's genre, platforms, or release window have not been disclosed. However, EPID Games has posted numerous job openings for the project, spanning development, art, and operations roles. These include positions for a development project manager, combat and balance planner, server and client programmers, character illustrators, 2D animators, and operations staff. The breadth of the hiring suggests the company is in the early stages of building a team to begin full-scale production on the new title.
The teaser PV for Trickcal Patima, posted on June 29, 2026, does not reveal gameplay or a story premise. It focuses on introducing characters with the same soft, rounded facial features that became a signature of the original Trickcal. The teaser site mirrors this limited information, offering little beyond the video and a logo.
EPID Games' job listings for the project are unusually broad. They cover not only technical roles like server and client programmers but also creative positions such as character illustrators and 2D animators, plus operational staff. This range suggests the studio is assembling a core team from scratch rather than slotting new hires into an existing pipeline. The original Trickcal launched on iOS and Android, but no platform has been confirmed for the sequel.
