Atlantica Online update offers new puppeteer mercenary during festival
July is here, and with it comes heat, BBQs, and Atlantica Online's newest in-game challenge: the Bunraku Festival. Why participate in this summer festival? How about for the chance to recruit the new Puppeteer Rin mercenary? When battling the forces of evil, who wouldn't want to have a puppeteer with a power-saw-wielding puppet on his side? From now until July 26th, players can collect festival scripts just by logging in and also by helping bring an end to evil through a series of quests for Dr. Gon. These scripts can then be turned in for various prizes, including the mercenary. [Source: Nexon press release]

The game was recently released in Japan as Dark Shadow, and you can read GameSpot's hands-on feature for more details.Finally, the tentatively-titled Tenchu 360 is expected at the end of the year, but may initially be a Japanese exclusive.

We'll keep you posted on North American release dates.
