As the Gregorian calendar year has recently ended, many in the West might be feeling the post-holiday blues. However, the excitement is just beginning in the East with the approach of the Lunar New Year! Yostar is joining the festivities with a major new event in their popular puzzle game, Mahjong Soul.
What's in store for players? You can look forward to the introduction of two new characters celebrating the Year of the Snake: sisters Hua Yubai and Hua Yuqing. These characters are set to add a dose of melodrama and intrigue to the game as key players in the Floating Dreams Theater.
Given that the Lunar New Year, also known as Chinese New Year, is a significant cultural event, it's no surprise that Yostar is rolling out a special update for Mahjong Soul. Mahjong, a beloved and intricate game from China, perfectly aligns with the cultural festivities.
But the celebration doesn't stop there! The event includes four new limited-time outfits from the Echo of Rejoicing series, tailored for the Lunar New Year. These include animated outfits for Kana Fujita and Zechsd, as well as new looks for Chiori Mikami and Sara. Additionally, the Day of Celebration series will make a limited-time return, and players can also enjoy new Bamboo-themed decorations in the gacha pool.
Even if you're not well-versed in the rules of mahjong, it's worth noting that this classic pastime has enjoyed global popularity. Did you know that in the early 20th century, America experienced a significant mahjong craze? It's a testament to the game's enduring appeal.
