Where Winds Meet

Explore tenth-century China in Everstone Studio and NetEase Games’ open-world ARPG, Where Winds Meet. Featuring MMO elements, the game allows players to design their own character and take up the role of a young sword master (or mistress), exploring the nation following a personal disaster. Travel through the wilderness, villages, and cities. Meet a wide cast of characters. Uncover long-hidden secrets. The game features Wuxia-style combat, allowing players to combine melee, ranged, and stealth depending on the weapons they are using. Those weapons include swords, spears, rope darts, fans, umbrellas, and more. Players can also join different in-game factions to learn even more skills during their travels. Players can choose their difficulty, playstyle, and whether or not to go solo or team up with friends. There are hours of content before the player even leaves the first zone. In addition to combat, players can explore, solve puzzles, take part in leisurely activities, and more.

On the monetization front, Everstone went with a large collection of cosmetics – clothes, accessories, and other items that players can obtain through the shop or other means. Some of these items are available through gameplay.
