Everything new this New Year

From a lantern-flooded night market to a secret dragon parade only two players can ride together — every addition listed below.

🏮

Night Market Lobby

The entire map transforms at dusk — red lanterns hang from every arch, dumpling stalls line the streets, and fireworks erupt every ten minutes with hidden bonus sparks for coordinated pairs.

World
🐉

Dragon Parade Questline

8 story-driven quests following Wei and Lóng — two siblings who must mend a broken promise before the last lantern of the New Year floats away into the night sky.

Story
🤝

Co-op Dragon Ride

One secret quest requires two cuffed players to mount the Great Dragon together and navigate three ancient shrines before the final parade drum falls silent.

Co-op
⛓️

Lacquer Handcuffs

Five new variants — Vermillion, Jade, Gilded Dragon, Night Market, and the legendary Bound by Fate — each hand-lacquered with traditional motifs and glowing thread detailing.

Cosmetics

Red Envelope Currency

Collect 红包 (Red Envelopes) throughout the event by completing quests, riding the dragon, and lighting fireworks. Spend them at Night Market stalls before the festival closes.

Economy
🎆

Fireworks Mechanic

Launch fireworks with your partner during the nightly parade window. Coordinated launches unlock bonus Red Envelopes, hidden fortune scrolls, and — rumour has it — a path to the dragon's mouth.

Gameplay
◆

"The Red Thread was never
about luck. It was always about choice."

Legend says the Great Dragon tied a red thread between two strangers on the first night of the New Year — one destined to find it, one destined to follow. This year, that thread runs through the game. Buried inside the dragon's mouth is something no one has seen before: the Bound by Fate cuffs. Two players. One thread. Fifteen days to find the end of it.

The Night Market does not wait. The lanterns do not stay lit forever. Whatever you seek this New Year — seek it together.

FAQ · 常见问题

Your questions, answered

Everything you need to know before the festival begins.

When does Red Thread start and end?
▼
Red Thread runs for 15 days from February 17, 2028 to March 3, 2028. The event goes live at midnight UTC on the 17th and all event rewards lock at midnight UTC on March 3rd. The countdown on this page reflects that deadline.
Do any rewards return after the event?
▼
No. All five handcuff variants — Vermillion, Jade, Gilded Dragon, Night Market, and Bound by Fate — are permanently vaulted when the Night Market closes on March 3rd. They will not return in future events or in the regular shop.
What is the Red Envelope currency and how do I earn it?
▼
Red Envelopes (红包) are the event's limited currency. You earn them by completing quest chapters, launching coordinated fireworks with a partner, navigating the dragon parade, and finding hidden fortune scrolls scattered across the Night Market map. They can only be spent at Night Market stalls during the 15-day window.
Do I need a specific partner to do the co-op dragon ride?
▼
You need any cuffed partner — anyone you are currently handcuffed to in-game can mount the Great Dragon with you. Both players must have reached Chapter 6 of the Dragon Parade questline before the ride becomes available. You can attempt it multiple times, but the Bound by Fate cuffs are only awarded the first time you complete all three shrines together.
Can I complete all questlines solo?
▼
Seven of the eight questline chapters can be completed solo. Chapter 7 — the dragon ride — requires a cuffed partner. If you do not have a regular partner, the Night Market includes an NPC matchmaking board where you can post your name for the parade window.
What is the Bound by Fate cuff and how rare is it?
▼
Bound by Fate is the rarest cosmetic in the event — a two-piece lacquer set connected by a glowing red thread that links both players visually in-game. It is only awarded by completing the co-op dragon ride. Given the co-op requirement and the 15-day window, it is expected to be the rarest item in the game's history when the event ends.
