Everstone Studio, an emerging game development studio focusing on open world and ancient narratives announced Where Winds Meet at Gamescom 2022 Opening Night Live.
Where Winds Meet is a brand new open-world action-adventure RPG for PC, where players will be able to forge their own destiny in the final days of the Ten Kingdoms era of Chinese history.
Players will experience an epic story, take part in fast-paced martial arts battles, experience different occupations with their own quests, and explore a massive game world.
Where Winds Meet is set during the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, during an era of war and conflict. The player takes on the role of a wandering swordsman, who grew up during this brutal age, and used their martial arts and sword fighting skills to survive against countless foes. The player is thrust into this ruthless world, and they must choose between upholding their code of morals, in order to protect the innocent and fight for justice or live only for themselves and risk the land slipping further into chaos and despair.
The combat involves fast-paced Wuxia-style battles, where the player can counter enemy blows, use Tai Chi to reflect their attacks, or use acrobatics to slip through their guard and strike them from all angles. The player also has access to a number of martial arts skills and ranged weapons, allowing them to break free from one fighting style and use a mixture of abilities to defeat their enemies, creating their own approach to combat.
The world of Where Winds Meet is also home to different wild animals and supernatural creatures, who will require their own unique approach in battle. The swordsman’s martial arts skills can also be used to explore the beautiful world of Where Winds Meet, allowing them to scale walls, leap across rooftops, and sprint across the waves. The player also has their trusty steed, which will swiftly carry him across the gorgeous landscape.
There is more to the game’s combat than just trading blows with enemies. The player can have the swordsman take on different roles in the game world, such as becoming a doctor who saves lives or a merchant earning as much gold as possible. Where Winds Meet boasts an expansive free-construction system, with over 600 authentic components that allow the player to build structures in the world and make them their own. The player can also choose to live freely and eschew these side activities, in order to pursue the main story and face the most dangerous enemies in the realm.
Other games announced at Gamescom 2022 included New Tales Of The Borderlands and the release date for Dead Island 2.
