New Action RPG Combine Assassin's Creed With Wuxia

Everstone has announced an ambitious RPG called Where Winds Meet. It will transport us to the vast open world of medieval China.

IN A NUTSHELL:
  • Chinese studio Everstone has announced an RPG titled Where Winds Meet.
  • The game will be set in a large open world in medieval China.
  • The developers promise a lot of freedom of action and many side activities.

Chinese studio Everstone has announced an ambitious open-world RPG. We are talking about Where Winds Meet, which may turn out to be a title that will reach not only Asian audiences, but also Western gamers. All thanks to a peculiar combination of elements of cinema and wuxia literature with gameplay that resembles the standards known from familiar productions.

Great adventure in medieval China

Where Winds Meet will take the players to medieval China of the Ten Kingdoms period. By the time the action begins, the era will be over, but we are still talking about very dangerous times. We are about to enter a world where entire dynasties can fall in a matter of moments and thus change the lives of thousands of people.

We, in turn, will play the role of a warrior who grew up in these troubled times and now finds himself at the very center of events. The developers, of course, promise that, just like classic RPGs, we will have a strong influence on the course of the story. It will depend only on us what path we will take and what our hero will write in history.

Gameplay on the presented trailer, on the other hand, looks both exotic and familiar. On the one hand, we are dealing here with classic elements of literature and wuxia cinema. So our protagonist will be a warrior with downright supernatural abilities.

In the game we will use a ton of skills that defy the laws of physics, such as hovering in the air, running on water or incredible acrobatics during combat. We will also be able to immobilize enemies, control the wind and use many other supernatural skills.

At the same time, we will develop our skills in a rather classic way, unlocking more as we progress through the game. We will also visit a huge open world full of side activities and beautiful places to explore. In scenes of walking through a medieval city Where Winds Meet looks like a game that could have been made by any of the notable Western studios.

In addition, the way we navigate the world and the smooth transitions from walking to running across rooftops should appeal to Assassin's Creed fans.

In this game you can earn some honest money

All the previous information heralds a great adventure and a full-fledged AAA RPG. Where Winds Meet however, has a second face. The game is also to be a sandbox of sorts.

If you get bored with constant fighting and facing great threats, nothing will prevent you from changing your profession. You will be able to put the sword aside and take up honest work.

The developers have revealed that the protagonist will be able to become at least a trader or a doctor. In essence, we will be able to lead the life of an NPC who functions within the large interactive world and tries to fit into it.

Of course, it is difficult to expect this to be the main course prepared by the developers from Everstone Studio. In the long run, it will be the classic RPG elements that will have to keep us by the screens.

Whether the game will succeed, we will be able to check soon, because its beta tests will take place later this year. Unfortunately, for now it has not been revealed when the official release of the title is scheduled. Where Winds Meet will launch exclusively on PC.
