The Spirit of Chinese Wuxia Redefines the Open World

Where Winds Meet has finally launched after a long wait! This ambitious open-world RPG from NetEase Games, inspired by the legendary Wuxia (martial arts heroes) genre, invites players to 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 jump in right now?

A World Shaped by Your Choices: The Living Jianghu

Where Winds Meet offers more than just a vast map it brings to life a vibrant, breathing world known as Jianghu (the World of Rivers and Lakes).

• Authentic Historical Atmosphere: Experience an era filled with political intrigue and epic battles. Stunning landscapes, bustling cities, and mysterious temples await your discovery.

• Freedom and Consequences: Your interactions with NPCs go deep. Whether you choose the path of a noble Wuxia hero or cause chaos through mischief, the world reacts to your decisions. Commit too many crimes, and the authorities will be on your tail!

• Master Exploration: Walking isn't enough here. Flow seamlessly from rooftop to rooftop, glide across distances, and enjoy a free-form exploration that captures the essence of Chinese aesthetics.

Combat System: The Artistry of a Sword Master

At the heart of Where Winds Meet lies its deep and fluid combat mechanics, truly immersing you in the art of sword mastery.

• Wuxia Weapons: Wield authentic Wuxia weapons like swords, spears, dual blades, bows, and even umbrellas used with Kung Fu finesse. Each weapon offers a unique fighting style.

• Flexible Combos: Combine close combat, ranged attacks, and stealth approaches. Defeating your foes with mystical martial arts skills like Tai Chi delivers a visual spectacle.

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

Character & 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 the next level.

• Diverse Professions: You're not limited to being a sword master. 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 could make things worse!

• Freedom of Growth: Choose your factions, roles, and which professions to master as you develop your character.

Solo or Thousands Together: Dual-Mode World

Where Winds Meet brings together fans of both story-driven solo play and MMO enthusiasts.

• Co-op & Solo: Dive into the story alone, or team up with up to four friends for a co-op adventure.

• MMO Transition: One of the game's most innovative features is the seamless switch from a single-player world to a massive MMO server with thousands of players. Join clan wars, multiplayer dungeons, and epic raids.

Where to Play?

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