The free-to-play NetEase-published Wuxia adventure, Where Winds Meet, has topped 9 million players in just two weeks.
The open-world action-RPG debuted on PC and PlayStation 5 on November 14, and hit a peak concurrent player count of 251,000 on Steam (Sony does not make player numbers public). Over 89% of the game’s 70,000+ Steam reviews are positive, too.
A mobile version is due out on December 12. Offering full cross-play and shared progress, you’ll be able to dip into the action wherever you are, with “a portable Jianghu in the palm of your hand.” If that sounds good to you, you can pre-register for mobile (iOS or Android) right here.
IGN’s Where Winds Meet review returned a 6/10. We said: “Where Winds Meet has a great understanding of what makes wuxia such a compelling genre, but its attempt to shove so many different things into one game only ensures that none of those elements reach their full potential.”
