Where Winds Meet, the upcoming open-world action Wuxia action adventure from Everstone Studios, is a PlayStation 5 console exclusive for at least six months.
Confirmation comes via a new video published to the PlayStation YouTube channel (the multiplatform version of this trailer is below). As well as offering a peek into the game’s story, the end of the teaser revealed that Where Winds Meet is a PS5 console exclusive for “at least six months.” It’s also coming to mobile and PC.
As for a release date? I’m afraid we’re given no more than a vague “coming 2025” for now, but publisher NetEase has confirmed its final test is set to launch on July 25 on PC and PS5, which includes a brand-new urban region, Kaifeng, which hasn’t previously been available. If you’re interested, you can join via the official registration link. No pre-order incentives have been offered as yet, but players are welcome to wishlist from today.
Where Winds Meet was first released on PC in China at the end of 2024 and was ported to mobile in 2025. It’s set in the Ten Kingdoms Era during a battle between rival dynasties, where the player takes the role of a swordsman who will influence the conflict in different ways depending on their choices. It’s influenced heavily by Wuxia, a Chinese fiction genre where ancient Chinese fighters are depicted with superhuman abilities.
In a Where Winds Meet preview from August 2023, we went hands-on, getting a taste of its mix of Zelda and The Witcher gameplay and the seemingly massive amount of systems, choices, and possibilities at play.
As for Sony, it’s on the hunt for a repeat of the enormous success of Black Myth Wukong, which launches on Xbox Series X and S this August a year after it came out on PC and PS5.
