About the game

Jianghu knows no bounds. Play free across XBOX, PS5, PC, and mobile with full cross-play and cross-progression. No pay-to-win.

Gameplay content is entirely free, with monetization limited to cosmetic items.

In Where Winds Meet, Chinese martial arts meet a seamless open world. Roam vast landscapes, uncover hidden ruins, and descend into layered underground catacombs. Steal techniques from martial sects, wield an arsenal of classic wuxia weaponry, and master over 30 mystic arts – from the flowing balance of Tai Chi to the force of Lion's Roar.

Craft, architecture, astronomy, folk games and performance, medicine and healing – 16 systems come together to form an immersive ancient society.

A Living Open-World History

Jianghu knows no bounds.

Ancient landscapes, traditional crafts, stories drawn from history and realistic graphics come together to build a world true to the spirit of wuxia.

Immerse yourself in the captivating Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period of China, where epic battles and legendary tales shape the course of history. From the bustling imperial capital to the hidden wilderness, every path is filled with secrets and adventures.

Traverse vast landscapes in wuxia style: scale rooftops with fluid parkour, ride the windstride across miles in moments, or use fast travel points to leap between regions.

Adventure Alone or Forge Your Community

Embark on a narrative-driven adventure filled with rich solo gameplay, or team up with up to four friends for seamless co-op experiences.

Join or create a Guild to access group activities: intense guild wars, multiplayer dungeons, and epic raids. Show your skill in competitive duels, or enter a shared, evolving world with thousands of fellow wanderers.

Master Your Way of Wuxia Combat

Tailor your combat – melee, ranged, or stealth. Build a loadout that suits your playstyle. Engage in combat with classic wuxia weapons – sword, spear, dual blades, rope dart, bow, fan, and umbrella. Switch weapons and employ martial arts and mystic skills like Tai Chi to outmaneuver enemies.

Customize Your Jianghu Identity

Customize your character, choose your role, align with factions, and explore unique professions to shape your identity.

Here, freedom is yours, but every action has its weight. Cause chaos, defy the law, and face bounties, pursuit, even time behind bars. Or walk a nobler path: befriend villagers, forge alliances, and grow your reputation as a hero of the wuxia world. In a world torn by chaos, become the spark that ignites change and forge your legacy!
