HoYoverse has unveiled an exciting new update for *Tears of Themis* titled "Ballad of the Dunes," which marks a unique collaboration with the Gansu Province's Culture & Tourism. This event beautifully intertwines the allure of detective work with the historical richness of Dunhuang, a city nestled on the Gobi Desert's edge.
What Does Ballad of the Dunes Bring to Tears of Themis?
The "Ballad of the Dunes" event is a captivating blend of history, romance, and mystery, set against the backdrop of the ancient Silk Road. Players will immerse themselves in solving mysteries while exploring the cultural heritage of Dunhuang. Here's what the event introduces to *Tears of Themis*:
The event features four new MR cards, each showcasing Luke, Artem, Vyn, and Marius, styled to reflect various aspects of Dunhuang's culture. You'll encounter elements like flying apsaras, detailed murals, and the iconic pipa played in the traditional manner, reminiscent of the ancient performers in the Mogao Caves. The Silk Road, a historical conduit of art, culture, and trade since the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC–8 AD), is digitally reimagined in this event.
Each card narrates a unique story: Luke's "In the Footsteps of Silk," Artem's "Serenade of the Soul," Vyn's "Reverberation Through Time," and Marius's "Void of Creation." These cards also include Private Messages that delve into a journey spanning a thousand years.
What Are the Rewards?
From February 13th to February 20th, 2025, players can earn Camel Bells, S-Chips, and various other rewards by completing event tasks. The main challenge involves flipping cells on a game board to reveal rewards.
The highlight of the event is the pack of Ballad of the Dunes MR cards. Players can choose one of the four MR cards as their final reward in each round. Achieving 100 cell flips will unlock the exclusive Celebration – Dunes Namecard.
