Where Winds Meet: Everstone’s Wuxia Prepares for Final Closed Beta on PS5 and PC

Final Closed Beta Test for Where Winds Meet Begins on PS5 and PC, July 25th – 30th

Where Winds Meet, an open-world wuxia RPG published by NetEase, immerses players in 10th-century China. Players step into the shoes of a young sword master on a journey to unravel forgotten truths about their own identity. The game offers a campaign that can be played solo or cooperatively with up to three friends, alongside a multiplayer mode that includes PvP battles. It will also be playable on mobile devices. Where Winds Meet is scheduled for an exclusive launch on PlayStation 5 in 2025. While no specific launch date or price has been announced yet, the game will not be available on Xbox Series X/S for at least six months after its initial release. Chinese developer Everstone has confirmed that Where Winds Meet will enter its final testing phase from July 25th through July 30th on PlayStation 5 and PC. This global test follows a previous closed beta. Registrations for the test are currently open via the official website, and players can add the game to their PlayStation Store wishlist.

Exploring Kaifeng City’s Living Wuxia World in Where Winds Meet Global Test, July 25th – 30th on PS5 and PC

A major feature of this global test is the introduction of Kaifeng City, a vibrant and contrast-rich capital spanning over one million square meters. The city is designed as a living environment, populated by more than 10,000 non-player characters (NPCs) with whom players can freely interact and undertake quests. It is currently unclear whether the 10,000 NPC count refers to individual models on screen or the total number within the city. Within Kaifeng City, players can engage in a variety of classic Chinese activities, such as visiting bathhouses and watching traditional operas. Player actions can also influence the city, potentially transforming abandoned wheat fields and run-down streets into bustling neighborhoods. There is currently no information on whether this new playtest will be available on Xbox Series X/S.
