While the Western world winds down after the Gregorian calendar’s end, the East is gearing up for the vibrant Lunar New Year. Yostar is marking the occasion with a festive event in their beloved puzzle game, Mahjong Soul, bringing fresh content to the table.

What’s in store? Meet two new characters tied to the Year of the Snake: sisters Hua Yubai and Hua Yuqing, stars of the Floating Dreams Theater. Their dramatic flair and captivating stories add depth to the game’s roster.

It’s no surprise Yostar is rolling out a big update for Lunar New Year, often called Chinese New Year. Mahjong, a cultural gem from China, is a perfect fit for the celebration, blending strategy and tradition in one addictive package.

Moonlit Festivities

That’s not all—four exclusive outfits arrive with the Echo of Rejoicing series, tailored for the Lunar New Year. Kana Fujita and Zechsd get animated looks, while Chiori Mikami and Sara sport fresh styles. The Day of Celebration series also makes a limited-time comeback, joined by new Bamboo-themed decorations in the gacha pool.

Mahjong may seem daunting to newcomers, but its global appeal is undeniable. Fun fact: it sparked a massive craze in early 20th-century America. The game’s enduring charm continues to captivate players worldwide.
