With just days left until the mobile launch of Where Winds Meet (December 12), Everstone Studio and NetEase Games addressed the community’s most pressing questions through their official channels. Key rules about cross-progression and mobile-specific controls, especially for PC/Console account holders, have now been finalized.

Here are the most important details every mobile and existing PC/Console player needs to know:

Part I: Cross-Progression & Account Management (CRITICAL NOTICE)

Part II: Mobile Experience & Control Differences

While the developers aim to bring the PC experience to mobile, some optimizations and differences are necessary due to the nature of portable devices:

1. Difficulty Settings & Learning Curve

• Restriction for New Mobile Characters: Players creating a new character on mobile can initially only select Story or Recommended difficulty levels.

• When Is Expert Difficulty Unlocked? After learning the basics and reaching Level 30 (Lv. 30), the Expert difficulty will become available on mobile.

• Legend Difficulty: For new players who want to experience the highest difficulty, "Legend," it’s recommended to first create an account on PC. Characters created on PC at Legend difficulty will retain their status when logging in on mobile.

2. Controls & User Interface (UI)

• Assist Deflection: To help new mobile characters learn combat mechanics faster, "Assist Deflection" will be ENABLED by default. You can turn off this feature in the settings menu.

• Button Layout Restriction: Mobile skill button layouts are currently not customizable. Custom key settings and more advanced mobile control options will be added in a future update.

3. Performance & Optimization

• Changes in Cutscenes: To ensure stable performance on mobile, some real-time rendered cutscenes have been temporarily replaced with video playback. This may increase cellular data usage. Developers have stated that optimization work is ongoing.
