The global launch for Everstone Studio and NetEase Games' highly anticipated wuxia action RPG, Where Winds Meet, is almost here. According to official announcements tracked by Polygon, the free-to-play title officially goes live on Friday, November 14, at 5 p.m. EST across PlayStation 5 and Windows PC via Steam and the official launcher. Players looking to jump right in without waiting for massive day one downloads can already preloads the game on PC, while PS5 players can pre-load if they secure the pre-order bundle.
Set in a sprawling fictional Chinese fantasy world, Where Winds Meet leans heavily into high-flying martial arts fantasy and deep exploration. Combat revolves around weapon-specific move sets, stamina management, and flashy Martial and Mystic Arts that let you wield everything from traditional swords to stylish fans and umbrellas. While the game features an expansive map packed with hundreds of points of interest and side quests, it strikes a balance between solo narrative progression and optional cooperative play, allowing you to invite friends in to help tackle tougher encounters.
Developer NetEase is also keeping accessibility in mind for players who want to experience the story without hitting a massive skill wall. The game includes an auto-parry option, giving players a single-command safety net against punishing enemy attacks. Whether you are diving in for the deep lore, the traversal freedom, or the striking art design, you can check out the full breakdown of release schedules and platform details over at Polygon.
