Nexon has announced that Atlantica Online will be receiving a massive update on April 26th. Called "The Three Kingdoms", the update will introduce players to a high level mercenary in the form of General Guan Yu. In addition, new quests featuring The Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history will be added to the game.

To coincide with the dynastic shifts in power that occurred within the Three Kingdoms period in China, several quests have been included in the game to reflect the power struggles from that timeframe. Players will soon be able to put their strategies to the test in a variety of dungeons and quests, where they will play alongside iconic Chinese historical warlords, leaders, and soldiers like Cao Cao, Liu Bei and more.

The new quests and dungeon added to Atlantica Online will fall primarily under the story of the Battle of Red Cliffs, a watershed moment in the Three Kingdoms era. A decisive battle signifying the end of the Han Dynasty, the Battle of Red Cliffs emulated a classic theme of the “weak beating the strong,” ultimately laying the foundation for the establishment of the Three Kingdoms, Wu, Wei, and Shu.
