NetEase Games and Everstone Studio have announced that their highly anticipated open-world action RPG, Where Winds Meet, has surpassed 5 million pre-registrations worldwide ahead of its global launch on November 14, 2025, for PC (Steam, Epic, Windows) and PlayStation 5.
To celebrate the milestone, the developers released a new gameplay trailer highlighting the game’s sweeping landscapes, thrilling martial arts combat, and rich narrative moments set within an authentic Wuxia-inspired fantasy world.
Explore an Expansive Eastern Fantasy
Set across 20 distinct regions, Where Winds Meet invites players to journey through a world that merges ancient Chinese history with fantastical martial arts lore. From the imperial capital’s bustling streets to eerie ghost markets and sun-scorched deserts, each locale is brought to life with meticulous detail.
The game’s population of 10,000 unique NPCs each responds dynamically to the player’s actions, whether forging alliances, making enemies, or altering the balance of local power.
Master the Martial Mystic Arts
Players can master more than 40 Martial Mystic Arts, inspired by both real-world martial disciplines and mythical traditions. Techniques like Tai Chi, Toad Style, and Lion’s Roar can be unlocked through exploration, infiltration, or mentorship from mysterious wanderers. These abilities enhance not only combat but also traversal and puzzle-solving, deepening the world’s sense of discovery.
Combat Inspired by Chinese Kung Fu
Where Winds Meet features a distinctive combat system that draws from traditional Kung Fu and fantastical Wuxia choreography. Players can combine weapons, Mystic Arts, and sect techniques to create personalized fighting styles. With multiple difficulty settings, the experience is crafted to suit both casual adventurers and hardcore action RPG fans alike.
A Living Narrative of Freedom and Fate
Through its scattered storytelling approach, the game lets players uncover tales of ambition, loss, and destiny woven throughout the land of Jianghu, a term describing the untamed world beyond imperial reach, where martial heroes forge their own justice.
Everstone Studio aims to deliver a truly open and boundless world that captures the essence of Eastern fantasy, one defined by freedom, honor, and self-discovery.
Where Winds Meet launches globally on November 14, 2025, for PC and PlayStation 5. Players can wishlist now on Steam, the Epic Games Store, and the PlayStation Store.
