Qookka Games announced on Nov. 11 that it will release the new annual scenario 'Han Yan Zhang Ming' and 'Cross-Region Expedition' mode Ver 3.0 for Three Kingdoms: Tactics on Nov. 14.
According to Qookka Games, Three Kingdoms: Tactics has surpassed 100 million cumulative global downloads and is a seasonal mobile strategy simulation game (SLG) based on the Three Kingdoms that has been in service for over five years. 'Han Yan Zhang Ming' is a major annual scenario introduced once a year, featuring new factions, officers, tactics, and strategy systems.
The newly joining faction is the 'Han Imperial Court', with 'SP Cao Cao' and 'Lady He' introduced as annual officers. Players can assemble troops by combining new tactics with officer and faction traits.
Strategic gameplay will be expanded with the addition of 'Surprise Troops', 'Devious Tactics', and 'Scholarly Strategy'. Under 'Devious Tactics', players select operational strategies and equip 'Strategy Cards' according to combat turns. In 'Scholarly Strategy', players research desired strategies to gain buff effects. Tactical maneuvers such as rallying 'Surprise Troops' or crossing rivers to launch attacks on enemy forces can also be utilized.
Launch commemorative events will feature a 5-star commemorative card and an 'Arms Race' event. All server players who complete missions on the 'Han Yan Zhang Ming' scenario theme page by Nov. 16 will receive a 'Han Faction Choice Trial Card'.
The 'Arms Race' event, conducted on select servers, distributes rewards based on power differences and merit rankings. Rewards include 'Gold Packages', 'Recruitment Orders', 'Blueprint Gift Boxes', and 'Special Skill Gift Boxes', alongside a raffle opportunity to win custom Three Kingdoms: Tactics keyboards and umbrella swords.
New players will be offered participation benefits on the 'Speed Benefits x Gold Theme' server. Those who download the game anew and join the server can earn rewards such as Gold Coins, Silver Coins, Gold, and Recruitment Orders, as well as the opportunity to try out Cao Cao.
Video content will also be released alongside the update. A collaboration video with YouTuber Minam Jaehyung, released on Nov. 11, covers key features and rewards of 'Han Yan Zhang Ming'. Additionally, five videos, including a teaser trailer for the short drama Ask Cao Cao, will be released on the official YouTube channel.
A representative from Qookka Games stated, "The annual scenario released once a year is a major update designed to deliver fresh strategic challenges and fun to our players. In 'Han Yan Zhang Ming', we hope players experience even more dynamic battles through the new faction, officers, Surprise Troops, and diverse strategic systems."
