Tears Event Debuts with Ballad of the Dunes Cards

HoYoverse's Tears of Themis unveils "Ballad of the Dunes," a captivating collaboration with Gansu Province's Culture & Tourism. This 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 world of history, romance, and mystery steeped in Silk Road ambiance. New additions include:

• Four New MR Cards: Featuring Luke, Artem, Vyn, and Marius, each card showcases Dunhuang's cultural aspects, from flying apsaras to intricate murals and the pipa. Their designs evoke the ancient performers of the Mogao Caves, reflecting the Silk Road's artistic and cultural fusion during 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 unique narrative, complemented by Private Messages delving into a thousand-year-old journey.
