Where Winds Meet’s Hidden Mountain Update Releasing Next Week

NetEase and Everstone Studio have unveiled the latest update for open-world free-to-play action RPG Where Winds Meet. The Hidden Mountain update is said to mark the start of “Where Winds Meet 2.0″ and introduce an “Eastern Steampunk” aesthetic. The update will release on July 23, 2026, and will add the eponymous Hidden Mountain region that includes underwater depths, underground palaces, mountain peaks, and floating cities, as well as customisable mechanical vehicles, the new Mohist Hill sect, and new Gauntlet discipline.

Where Winds Meet is currently available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, iOS, and Android. The game is set in the years leading to the start of the Northern Song Dynasty in China (second half of the 9th century CE). Players take on the role of a wandering swordsman, who must choose whether to uphold their moral code or live for themselves in a time ravaged by fighting. The game features fast-paced, Wuxia-style combat and implements many aspects of Chinese martial arts.
