Mahjong Soul unveils Lunar New Year updates with new outfits and characters

As the Lunar New Year approaches, Yostar is gearing up to celebrate in style within their popular game, Mahjong Soul. This major event introduces three new characters, limited-time outfits, and festive decorations, all available until February 13th.

While the Gregorian calendar year has just ended, leaving many in the West feeling a bit down, the East is gearing up for the vibrant Lunar New Year celebrations. Yostar is joining in the festivities with a significant update to their hit puzzler, Mahjong Soul.

The event brings two new characters tied to the upcoming Year of the Snake: sisters Hua Yubai and Hua Yuqing. These characters are central to the Floating Dreams Theater storyline, adding a layer of melodrama and intrigue that perfectly complements their roles.

Given the significance of the Lunar New Year, often referred to as Chinese New Year, it's no surprise that Yostar is rolling out this update. Mahjong, a beloved game deeply rooted in Chinese culture, is the perfect backdrop for such celebrations.
