Hello, Xbox enthusiasts! We are thrilled to share that the highly anticipated free-to-play Wuxia open-world ARPG, Where Winds Meet, is now available on XBOX Series X|S, XBOX on PC, and cloud platforms, embodying the XBOX Play Anywhere experience. In addition to this exciting launch, we are delighted to provide a sneak peek of Hidden Mountain, the forthcoming major expansion that promises to enrich your gaming journey.
Since its initial launch last November, Where Winds Meet has experienced remarkable growth, attracting over 80 million players globally and expanding through two significant expansions. Now, it’s time for the XBOX community to immerse themselves in this captivating Wuxia world.
Step Into a Vast Wuxia Open World
The narrative unfolds in the tumultuous 10th Century of ancient China, during the twilight of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. As a young wanderer, players will embark on a quest to uncover their true identity, navigating a landscape filled with shifting alliances, hidden secrets, and the opportunity to forge their own legend amidst danger and intrigue.
The game offers a breathtaking, narrative-driven exploration experience across six expansive and distinct regions. Players will traverse tranquil countrysides, vibrant cities, sweeping deserts, snow-capped mountains, vast grasslands, and the intricate halls of the Imperial Palace.
Create Your Own Legend As a Wuxia Martial Arts Hero
As players delve into the enchanting realm of Wuxia martial arts, they are granted the freedom to define their combat style. Engage in intense, close-quarters battles using a diverse array of traditional and unconventional weapons, including swords, dual blades, glaives, umbrellas, and fans. Players can further customize their approach by unlocking distinctive legendary martial arts skills such as the Lion’s Roar, Acupuncture Hitting, and Tai Chi.
However, a hero’s journey is defined by more than just combat. Players can shape their world by taking on dynamic roles such as a doctor, merchant, assassin, or bounty hunter. Whether experiencing the immersive narrative as a lone swordsman, teaming up with friends for seamless co-op adventures, or testing their mettle in thrilling PvP battles, the choice of how to conquer this martial arts epic lies entirely in their hands.

During last weekend’s XBOX Showcase, we revealed that the adventure continues with the upcoming third major expansion: Hidden Mountain. This expansive new region introduces a breathtaking mountainous landscape characterized by deep, multi-layered 3D verticality, rewarding curious players with hidden surprises at every elevation. High among these treacherous peaks lies the secretive Mohist sect, bringing new mysteries, intriguing gameplay, martial arts mechanics, and narrative twists to your ongoing journey.
