What Where Winds Meet is

Where Winds Meet is an adventure game developed by Everstone Studio and released in 2024. It was published by NetEase Games. It is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Android, iOS and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Messiah Engine.

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.

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.
