HoYoverse's Tears of Themis unveils "Ballad of the Dunes," a captivating collaboration with Gansu Province's Culture & Tourism. This event seamlessly blends the game's detective elements with the rich cultural heritage of Dunhuang, a historic city bordering the Gobi Desert.
Ballad of the Dunes: A Journey Through Time
This crossover event immerses players in a world 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 unique Dunhuang cultural elements—from celestial apsaras to intricate murals and the traditional pipa. The artistic style draws inspiration from the Mogao Caves, reflecting the Silk Road's diverse artistic influences from the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC–8 AD).
-
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, further enhanced by Private Messages that delve into a thousand-year-old journey.
