HoYoverse has just launched an exciting new update for Tears of Themis, aptly named the Ballad of the Dunes. This isn't just any update; it's a unique collaboration event with Gansu Province's Culture & Tourism, merging the allure of detective work with the rich cultural tapestry of Dunhuang, a historic city nestled on the edge of the Gobi Desert. This crossover event promises an immersive experience filled with history, romance, and mystery, all set against the backdrop of the ancient Silk Road.
What Does Ballad of the Dunes Bring to Tears of Themis?
The Ballad of the Dunes event transports players into a world where they can solve mysteries amidst the ancient vibes of the Silk Road. Here's what this update introduces to Tears of Themis:
- **New MR Cards**: The event features four new Memory Resonance (MR) cards, each uniquely designed to reflect different aspects of Dunhuang's culture. You'll encounter 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 not only showcase the beauty of flying apsaras, intricate murals, and the classic pipa played behind the back but also tell their own compelling stories, reminiscent of the ancient performers found in the Mogao Caves. Each card comes with Private Messages that take you on a journey spanning a thousand years.
- **Cultural Immersion**: HoYoverse beautifully encapsulates the essence of the Silk Road during the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC–8 AD), bringing the historical and cultural richness of Dunhuang into the digital realm of Tears of Themis.
What Are the Rewards?
Running from February 13th to February 20th, 2025, the Ballad of the Dunes event offers players a chance to earn Camel Bells, S-Chips, and various other rewards by completing event tasks. The main challenge involves strategically flipping cells on a game board to uncover these rewards.
