As the Gregorian calendar fades into memory, those of us in the West might be feeling a bit down. But over in the East, excitement is building as the vibrant Lunar New Year approaches! Yostar is joining the festivities with a spectacular event in their popular puzzle game, Mahjong Soul.

It's no surprise that Yostar is rolling out a special update for the Lunar New Year. Often referred to as Chinese New Year, this holiday is a perfect occasion to celebrate one of China's most beloved cultural exports - the intricate and rewarding game of mahjong.

But wait, there's more! You can also snag four new limited-time outfits from the Echo of Rejoicing series, tailored for the Lunar New Year.
