What is Where Winds Meet?

The story in Where Winds Meet walks you through 10th-century China and the pivotal point of the Five Dynasties and the Ten Kingdoms. It's an open-world adventure game with optional online co-op elements like dungeons, boss battles, raids, and PVP duels, making it close to an MMO or, at the very least, a shared-world third-person action adventure game.

In the single-player component, it plays a little like Elden Ring; in a less drab and depressing land, anyway. Not everyone wants to kill you. In fact, most of the NPCs actively require your help, like a little friendly competition, a simple shoulder to cry on, or even finding them a job.

As you travel this open world, you'll take on bandit camps, learn new skills from books, people, and even animals, and use your growing martial arts techniques to get yourself in and out of all sorts of situations befitting an up-and-coming ancient hero. It's the Wuxia way-and one that didn't gel with our own Paul Kelly in an early preview a few months back.

Once you're all settled into your new life along the dusty roads of ancient China, you might want to read up on guides like how to change your appearance. And if you need something to play ahead of release, check out the best adventure games from across the decades.
