After a long wait from the gaming community, Where Winds Meet – a role-playing game rich in Wuxia elements – has finally announced its global beta testing phase, set to launch officially at the end of this year.
With the scale being touted as the largest yet, this is a rare opportunity for players to experience one of the most highly anticipated Chinese RPGs of 2025.
Set against the backdrop of the tumultuous Ming Dynasty – a period marked by fierce conflicts and significant transformations in Chinese history, Where Winds Meet places players in the role of a wandering hero, on a quest to uncover their true identity amidst the swirling powers and wars.
The game world promises to be one of the most immersive experiences of the year, blending historical elements, martial arts, and a sense of self-discovery. The standout feature of Where Winds Meet is its combat system infused with Wuxia elements – a genre characterized by martial arts narratives deeply rooted in Chinese culture. Players can choose from various combat styles: sword, spear, dual blades, or even unarmed – each style has its unique mechanics that allow for fast-paced, visually stunning, and highly dynamic gameplay.
In the upcoming beta test, players will step into the historical city of Kaifeng – a legendary and vibrant capital of ancient China. According to Everstone Studio’s division, this city is designed with an area of over 1 million square meters, filled with thousands of stories and hidden mysteries waiting to be discovered. With over 10,000 interactive NPCs, you can form friendships, gather information, or even pickpocket at any time. Beyond the city, the game also expands into various wilderness areas, dungeons, and natural terrains for those seeking to escape the bustling city life.
The beta test for Where Winds Meet will take place from July 24 to July 31, 2025, lasting precisely one week. Selected players will receive notifications via email from the developers. Interested gamers can register directly on the official website for a chance to be among the first to experience this blockbuster title.
