Everstone Studio has announced that the Hexi expansion for Where Winds Meet will arrive on March 6. The update is free for all players of the open-world action adventure RPG.
The Hexi region brings three new areas to explore: Jade Gate, Liangzhou, and Qinchuan. According to the developer, each location features different environments and challenges. The expansion will roll out in three chapters, with new areas opening roughly four weeks apart.
Players can expect new enemies and bosses in Hexi, including armored warriors equipped with cannons, a mystical deer, a large tengu-inspired creature, and a lamia that uses lightning attacks.

The March update also introduces a new combat style called “Bamboocut – Dust,” which combines two weapons: the Everspring Umbrella and the Unfettered Rope Dart. The Umbrella can spin on the ground to pull in and damage nearby enemies, and can be thrown to leave a phantom marker that players can teleport to.
The Rope Dart delivers sweeping attacks and fire-based abilities that slow down opponents. A second martial art path, “Stonesplit – Strength,” is planned for April alongside a new weapon called the Heng Blade.
Everstone Studio also confirmed it has put more resources into improving the game’s English translation and voiceover work, including updates to existing areas like Qinghe and Kaifeng.
