HoYoverse's Tears of Themis unveils its latest update: "Ballad of the Dunes," a collaboration with Gansu Province's Culture & Tourism. This exciting crossover event merges the game's detective elements with the rich cultural heritage of Dunhuang, a city bordering the Gobi Desert.
Ballad of the Dunes: A Journey Through Time
This event immerses players in a captivating blend of history, romance, and mystery, evoking the atmosphere of the ancient Silk Road. Key additions include:
- Four New MR Cards: Featuring Luke, Artem, Vyn, and Marius, each card showcases Dunhuang's cultural elements – from graceful apsaras to intricate murals and the unique pipa. The art style mirrors the ancient Mogao Caves performances, reflecting the Silk Road's artistic fusion during the Western Han Dynasty.
- Unique Card Stories: Each MR card ("In the Footsteps of Silk," "Serenade of the Soul," "Reverberation Through Time," and "Void of Creation") offers a distinct narrative, complemented by Private Messages that delve into a thousand-year-old journey.
Below is a preview of the event:
