I still recall the first frostbite of Dragonspine’s winds biting through my virtual bones—a memory that now breathes anew in Paris. This September, the City of Light transforms into a portal to Teyvat, where MiHoYo unfurls six nations’ souls across a thousand-square-meter dreamscape. As I imagine wandering through snowy cliffs recreated from pixels, a flutter dances in my chest: What secrets do the Archons’ discarded sketches hold? How does Natlan’s fire feel when painted by French hands? For us wanderers clutching visions and dreams, this isn’t just an expo; it’s a homecoming.
That familiar chill—now thawed into art.
🎨 Unseen Stories & Stolen Glances
Rumors whispered in co-op chats come alive here: never-before-seen drafts of the Five Yakshas, raw and vulnerable like inkblots on parchment. I trace Liyue’s Lantern Rite fireworks—concept art showing discarded hues of gold that never made it past beta. And Nod-Krai? Oh, that elusive tease! Its landscapes sprawl in unfinished glory, teasing cliffs and mossy ruins that’ll haunt future quests. MiHoYo calls it a "creative journey," but honestly? It’s like reading a diary left open on a god’s desk.
🌍 Stepping Through the Screen
They’ve built realms within realms—Inazuma’s Grand Narukami Shrine towers beside Sumeru’s Akademiya, while Mavuika’s Flamestrider flickers with artificial heat. Stand where Bennett once tripped over treasure chests; snap a pic in Dragonspine’s photo booth, your breath fogging the lens just like in-game. And that mini-game corner? Pure chaos. Kids tackle puzzles while electro slimes (plush ones!) judge from acrylic stands.
🛍️ Treasures & Tiny Gods
The merch tables groan under chibi-fied chaos: Venti winks from toiletries bags, Zhongli glares off fridge magnets. Snag badges stamped with Pyro symbols or luggage tags screaming "I survived Spiral Abyss!" For €20 (€16 for kiddos!), you nab:
-
Physical commemorative ticket ✨

Guidebook smelling of fresh print 📖

⚡ Update Whispers & Summer Sparks
While Paris beckons, version 5.8 (live July 30!) taunts us with Easybreeze Holiday Resort—Natlan’s western oasis. Meet Ineffa, our electro polearm maiden whose thundercloud hangs like a broody opera curtain. And Bennet? That unlucky lad gets a snazzy beach costume—complete with seashell necklace—unlocked via summer events. Grab it quick; his luck might expire faster than event timers!
💫 French Brushstrokes on Teyvat
What twists my thoughts most? Local artists reimagining our world. Fontaine’s elegance filtered through Montmartre’s alleyways, or Liyue’s contracts rewritten in Parisian rain. It’s Teyvat tasting croissants—a cultural collision where even Hilichurls might don berets.
So here’s the real tea: This ain’t just pretty walls. It’s proof our pixelated prayers echo in the real world. Wander. Gawk. Let Dragonspine’s art freeze your breath again. Your CTA? Don’t just scroll fan art—live it. Grab tickets before September 21 steals them away. After all, how often does Teyvat knock twice? 🍃
