If you've never read Romance of the Three Kingdoms or studied a bit of Chinese history, you're missing out on a drama full of intrigue, cleverness, and sweeping battles. Fortunately for players of Atlantica Online, you don't need to know the history to enjoy the upcoming Three Kingdoms update. Slated for release on the 26th of April, the update will contain a variety of new quests and systems along with a new mercenary hero, Guan Yu.

The quests will center around the Battle of Red Cliffs, with players getting the chance to rub shoulders with well-known figures such as Cao Cao and Liu Bei. Players can also enjoy the new Expedition Team feature, which allows mercenaries to be dispatched for side objectives while the player focuses on the more pressing battles of the day. Check out some of the concept art in the gallery below, and if you're fond of Atlantica Online, make sure to check out the new update on the 26th.

Well, as long as they don't have to fight Lu Bu, people should have a fun time I guess...

But if Lu Bu IS in this, and is anything like the Dynasty Warriors version... duct-tape those buttholes boys and gals, cause its gonna hurt...

@DevilSei he does tend to kick some serious butt, you sure got that right. Using a mixture of historical facts and myth overblown by centuries of either hate or adoration (depending on your viewpoint), Lu Bu gets raised to almost Godly levels of awesomeness by half-fiction works such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Dynasty Warriors series, the movie "Red Cliff", and various others. Unless players get to ally themselves with his faction in AO then LuBu should indeed provide a serious reaming!

Although it would probably hurt a bit less in the turn-based "hands-off" style battles of Atlantica than it does in the realtime button-mash/block/musou action of DW.
