China is still going strong with this free open-world game mixing martial arts, adventure and crucial decisions in a world devastated by war.
China invades video games
Japan no longer has the Asian monopoly on video games. More and more countries in this region of the world are starting to develop their own titles (and that's good), especially China. We no longer present the giant Tencent and its games, particularly mobile games, even if accusations of plagiarism sometimes weigh against it. Lately, Horizon has been their target. This month, we were also treated to the rise of PapperGames with the free-to-play open world Infinity Nikki, even if Genshin Impact remains the undisputed master of this category. Soon, it's once again a free Chinese game which will arrive on PC and which is already very promising.
In a word… freedom
After Black Myth: Wukong, China could well shine again in the world of video games with the free-to-play Where Winds Meet. The story takes place at the end of the Ten Kingdoms, where Emperor Li Yu, a passionate poet, loses the war against the Song and becomes a prisoner. As a swordsmanthe player must face difficult choicessuch as defending justice by challenging the empire or preserving the imperial order, to the detriment of its principles. For example, he may choose to protect the innocent, following his moral code of chivalry, or to sacrifice his ideals for political stability. These decisions will determine the hero's destiny in a world devastated by war.
For the moment, if the gameplay and the combat are tempting, it is difficult to know precisely how the scenario will work. The studio explains to us that we are a swordsman, but it would also be possible to play a doctor or a merchant. To see if this will work like bonus abilities, or if the way of playing will be completely different.
In any case, Where Winds Meet wants to explore all genres. He should offer total freedom in fighting style, allowing players to explore various martial skills, like Ch'ing Kung (wall walking, water running) and techniques like Tai Chi to return enemy attacks. The game incorporates key elements of Wuxia combat, where every action, attack and counterattack can be customized. As a sandbox role-playing game, it also offers a building system free with 600 ancient components and an interactive environment. Players can explore a vast open worldwith magnificent landscapes, mountains, rivers and mysterious buildings. The bad news is that for the moment, only China will have the right to Where Winds Meet exclusively on PC on December 27 and in 2025 on iOS. We will have to wait to hope for an international release. The title has already been announced on consoles.
