Where Winds Meet: Release Date, Exclusive Details, and Gameplay in the Open World

The Launch of "Where Winds Meet" and its Official Release Date

Everstone Studio recently announced the official release date for "Where Winds Meet," a highly anticipated open-world action-adventure game. The launch date was revealed during Gamescom 2025. The game, known as the first open-world action role-playing game (ARPG) inspired by the art of Wuxia, will be released on November 14, 2025, for PlayStation 5 and PC.

Game Setting and World

"Where Winds Meet" is set in 10th-century China, specifically during the historically rich Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. Everstone Studio described the game as "the first original open-world ARPG that seamlessly blends Wuxia characteristics with open-world gameplay." The game features authentic Eastern fantasy elements, offering over 20 distinct areas to explore, inhabited by more than 10,000 unique non-playable characters (NPCs), each with their own personality and distinct responses to player actions.

Player Freedom and World Interaction

The game grants players complete freedom in their decisions, with no single predetermined path to follow. Whether the player chooses to become a valiant hero or an agent of chaos, the world will react to these choices. Players can sow discord, defy the law, face bounties or prosecutions, or even spend time behind bars. Alternatively, they can pursue a nobler path: befriending villagers, forming alliances, and building their reputation as a hero in the Wuxia world. In addition to the main story, a web of hidden and fragmented subplots will lead you to uncover dark legends and hidden truths scattered throughout the land.

Martial Arts and Gameplay

As a game inspired by Wuxia, "Where Winds Meet" offers forty unique mystical martial arts to master, including Tai Chi, Toad Style, and Lion’s Roar, along with other techniques obtainable while exploring the world. Players can also combine different weapons, mystical arts, and techniques acquired from various sects, inspired by traditional Kung Fu movements and fictional martial arts styles, to create unique combat styles and strategies.

What is Wuxia?

It's worth noting that Wuxia is an ancient Chinese literary genre that focuses on stories of wandering heroes mastering martial arts, who often possess supernatural abilities. This genre is characterized by its emphasis on chivalric values, justice, and adventure, and its events usually take place in Ancient China. Wuxia heroes are often portrayed as individual characters with exceptional combat skills who adhere to strict moral principles, seeking justice and confronting injustice. This genre is considered a fundamental part of Chinese culture and has influenced many art forms, including literature, cinema, television, and video games.
