HoYoverse's *Tears of Themis* receives a captivating update: "Ballad of the Dunes," a collaboration with Gansu Province's Culture & Tourism. This exciting crossover event merges the game's signature detective work with the rich cultural heritage of Dunhuang, a city nestled on the edge of the Gobi Desert. Prepare for a thrilling adventure blending history, romance, and mystery against the backdrop of the ancient Silk Road.
This event introduces four stunning new MR cards, each featuring one of the four main characters—Luke, Artem, Vyn, and Marius—styled after the iconic elements of Dunhuang's culture. Imagine flying apsaras, intricate murals, and the elegant pipa, all beautifully rendered in the game. These cards evoke the artistry of the Mogao Caves and the cultural melting pot that was the Silk Road during the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC–8 AD), now digitally recreated within *Tears of Themis*. Each card, boasting unique storylines—"In the Footsteps of Silk" (Luke), "Serenade of the Soul" (Artem), "Reverberation Through Time" (Vyn), and "Void of Creation" (Marius)—includes Private Messages that delve into a thousand-year-old journey.
