As Lunar New Year approaches, Yostar is throwing celebrations in their popular game Mahjong Soul with three new characters, limited-time outfits, and special decorations available until February 13th.

While Western celebrations wound down weeks ago, Eastern festivities are just beginning with Lunar New Year nearing. Yostar marks this occasion with a major event in their acclaimed puzzle game Mahjong Soul.

New Characters Herald Year of the Snake

The update introduces two snake-themed sisters - Hua Yubai and Hua Yuqing - starring in the Floating Dreams Theater event. These dramatic characters bring compelling storylines perfect for their Lunar New Year debut.

Yostar's Lunar New Year update comes as no surprise. The festival (often called Chinese New Year) pairs perfectly with mahjong, one of China's most beloved cultural exports and globally popular games.

Festive Outfits and Decorations

Players can unlock four exclusive Lunar New Year outfits through the Echo of Rejoicing series, including animated costumes for Kana Fujita and Zechsd plus new attire for Chiori Mikami and Sara. The limited-time Day of Celebration series returns alongside fresh Bamboo-themed decorations.

While mahjong rules might seem complex to newcomers, its rich history spans continents - including an early 20th century craze in America. For more puzzle gaming options, check out our list of top 25 puzzle games for mobile.
