The premise, in the publisher's words
In a time of fractured kingdoms and endless conflict, a wanderer roams the lands of China during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. Once-legendary heroes have vanished into myth, leaving behind only whispered tales and hidden legacies. The wanderer, a youxia following the traditions of the jianghu, journeys through bustling cities, war-scarred plains, and poetic desert corridors, encountering the stories of ordinary people caught between the ambitions of rival dynasties. As old alliances shatter and new powers rise, the wanderer must forge their own path through a world where the winds of change bring both opportunity and peril.

The main story runs about 25,107.8 hrs.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Core i7-7700K / Ryzen 5 1600, 16 GB RAM and GTX 1060(6GB) / RX 480(8GB). A 16GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. It also needs around 130GB of free storage, which is a real consideration on a 512GB drive. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Where Winds Meet launched on 27 December 2024, within three weeks of Marvel Rivals, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD and The Roottrees Are Dead. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 4 years into the PlayStation 5's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Marvel Rivals, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, The Roottrees Are Dead.
