Where Winds Meet: Platforms and Crossplay

Where Winds Meet will be out on:

PC (Steam, Epic Games)

What is Where Winds Meet?

Where Winds Meet is an open-world action RPG happening in 10th-century China during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms era. You take on the role of a young swordsman or swordswoman who heads out from home after a tough personal loss and steps into a broken world full of fights, schemes, and myths.

The devs say you can go through it as a story-focused solo journey that lasts more than 100 hours, team up with up to four players, or dive into an MMO-style online space with thousands of others.

What content does Where Winds Meet offer?

Where Winds Meet combines standard RPG stuff with MMO systems and a story-led setup. The key parts include:

Open world with over 20 regions, changing weather, and a complete day-night cycle
Fully voiced main story with tons of side missions
Martial-arts fighting using swords, spears, dual blades, fans, umbrellas, and more
Wuxia powers like slowing time, moving things with your mind, and attacks based on acupuncture
Jobs such as doctor, architect, musician, or orator
Housing setup where you can build your own home
NPCs you can interact with that have AI for conversations
Character creator with lots of customization

The fighting system really shines with its real martial-arts moves. They used motion capture from actual stunt people. Even odd weapons like the umbrella work as both a shield and a weapon.

How does co-op work?

In Where Winds Meet, you can join forces with up to three others in the story mode. As a group, you can:

Finish main and side quests
Take down bosses in the open world
Join in mini-games and hangout activities
Trade resources and figure out puzzles

The team-up mode flows smoothly and feels more like a regular action RPG than a full MMORPG. The world stays private, so you only run into other players if you want to.

What MMO elements are included?

After a few hours in, you unlock the online mode, which has a bunch of multiplayer stuff like:

PvE raids, dungeons, and world bosses
PvP arenas, guild battles, and a battle-royale setup called “Perception Forest”
Guilds and alliances with special rewards
Adventure areas with group meditation, healing missions, and puzzles tied to the lore
Story challenges with rankings
Weekly events, updates per season, and fresh content every three months

Main and side quests stick to solo or team-up play, while the online part is about hanging out and extra challenges you can pick.
