Where Winds Meet Heads to Qingzhou

NetEase and Everstone Studio announced that latest region for free-to-play action RPG Where Winds Meet. The new update will release on October 15, 2026, and add the game’s first “Theme Region”, Qingzhou. Taking players eastward, it sees them exploring a new area that mixes rugged peaks and coastal landscapes. A subsequent update will follow on October 29, 2026, which opens up the mist-shrouded isle of Penglai to players. The update will also add a new Inkbound Order sect, which aims to resolve conflicts through non-violent means, as well as the new Ribbon Drum weapon type and three new World Bosses.

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.
