HoYoverse has unveiled a captivating new update for Tears of Themis: the Ballad of the Dunes. This isn't just any update; it's a collaborative event joining forces with Gansu Province's Culture & Tourism, blending the game's signature detective work with the rich cultural heritage of Dunhuang, a city nestled on the edge of the Gobi Desert.

What Does Ballad of the Dunes Offer?

Prepare for a thrilling adventure where history, romance, and mystery intertwine amidst the sands of time. Solve intriguing cases while immersing yourself in the captivating atmosphere of the ancient Silk Road. The Ballad of the Dunes update brings several exciting additions to Tears of Themis:

Four brand-new MR cards featuring Luke, Artem, Vyn, and Marius, each uniquely styled after aspects of Dunhuang's vibrant culture. Think flying apsaras, intricate murals, and even the classic pipa—instruments of ancient performers depicted in the Mogao Caves. This event beautifully recreates the artistic and cultural melting pot of the Silk Road during the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC–8 AD) within the digital world of Tears of Themis.

Each card boasts 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."
