"Where Winds Meet" Hits PS5 as Timed Exclusive

Where Winds Meet, the anticipated open-world Wuxia action adventure from Everstone Studios, will debut as a PlayStation 5 console exclusive for at least six months, as confirmed in a new trailer on PlayStation's YouTube channel (with a multiplatform version shown below). The teaser reveals the game's narrative elements before announcing its timed console exclusivity. The title will also release on mobile and PC platforms.

While the exact release date remains unconfirmed beyond a "2025" window, publisher NetEase has announced an upcoming final test scheduled for July 25 on both PC and PS5. This beta will introduce the previously unseen urban region of Kaifeng. Interested players can register through the official sign-up page. Although no pre-order bonuses are currently available, wishlisting is now open.

Originally launched in China for PC in late 2024 before its 2025 mobile adaptation, Where Winds Meet transports players to the turbulent Ten Kingdoms Era. Gamers assume the role of a skilled swordsman whose choices dynamically shape the conflict between warring dynasties. The game draws deep inspiration from Wuxia fiction, featuring martial artists with extraordinary abilities in authentic historical settings.

Our August 2023 preview highlighted Where Winds Meet's compelling blend of Zelda-style exploration and Witcher-inspired narrative depth, alongside its impressive array of gameplay systems and player-driven consequences.

Sony appears to be strategizing for another breakout success following Black Myth: Wukong's phenomenal performance, which arrives on Xbox Series X/S this August after its initial 2023 release on PC and PS5.
