The Spirit of Chinese Wuxia Redefines the Open World

Where Winds Meet has finally launched after a long wait! NetEase Games’ ambitious Wuxia-themed open world RPG invites players into the turbulent “Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms” era of 10th-century China. So, what sets this game apart from other open world RPGs, and why should you play it right now?

World: Shape Your Own Jianghu

Where Winds Meet offers more than just a massive map it brings a living, breathing world called Jianghu (the World of Rivers and Lakes) to life.

• Historical Atmosphere: The game successfully recreates an era full of political intrigue and epic battles. Stunning landscapes, bustling cities, and mysterious temples are waiting to be explored.

• Freedom and Consequence: Your interactions with NPCs are deep and meaningful. Whether you play as a noble Wuxia hero or cause chaos as a thief, the world reacts to your choices. Commit too many crimes and the authorities will come after you!

• Masterful Exploration: Walking isn’t enough. Parkour seamlessly from rooftop to rooftop, glide through the air, and enjoy a free exploration experience inspired by Chinese aesthetics.

Combat System: The Art of the Swordmaster

At the heart of Where Winds Meet lies its deep and fluid combat mechanics. The game truly lets you feel the essence of “sword mastery.”

• Wuxia Weapons: Wield authentic Wuxia weapons such as swords, spears, dual blades, bows, and even umbrellas used with Kung Fu mastery. Each weapon brings a unique fighting style.

• Flexible Combos: Combine melee, ranged, and stealth tactics. Using mystical martial arts skills like Tai Chi to defeat your enemies is a true visual spectacle.

• Damage System: Watch out for yourself as much as your enemies. The injury and flaw system means you may need to visit a doctor after battles, adding depth to the game’s social and profession dynamics.

Character and Profession System: More Than Just a Warrior

Who you become in this game is entirely up to you. Where Winds Meet takes RPG elements to a whole new level.

• Diverse Professions: You don’t have to be just a swordmaster. The game lets you become a doctor, builder, or even a merchant. As a doctor, you can heal wounded NPCs (and other players), but beware getting treated by an amateur doctor could make things worse!

• Freedom to Grow: Choose your factions, roles, and professions as you develop your character.

Solo or With Thousands: Dual-Mode World

Where Winds Meet brings together fans of story-driven single-player and MMO enthusiasts alike.

• Co-op & Solo: Immerse yourself in the story solo or team up with up to four friends for cooperative gameplay.

• MMO Transition: One of the game’s most innovative features is the ability to switch from a solo experience to a massive MMO server with thousands of players. Join clan wars, multiplayer dungeons, and epic raids.

Where Can You Play?

Where Winds Meet is now available on PC (Steam, Epic Games, and its own client) and PlayStation 5. Plus, it adopts a Free-to-Play model.
