HoYoverse's Tears of Themis Unveils "Ballad of the Dunes" Collaboration
Tears of Themis has launched a new collaborative event, "Ballad of the Dunes," partnering with Gansu Province's Culture & Tourism. This exciting crossover seamlessly blends the game's signature detective elements with the rich cultural heritage of Dunhuang, a city nestled on the edge of the Gobi Desert.
What's New in "Ballad of the Dunes"?
This event offers a captivating blend of history, romance, and mystery, immersing players in 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 flying apsaras and intricate murals to the traditional pipa. The art style is inspired by the Mogao Caves and reflects the artistic fusion of the Silk Road era (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 accompanying Private Messages that delve into a thousand-year journey.
