『Where Winds Meet』Major Update "Hexi" Chapter 2 "Liangzhou" Released Today

Everstone Studio has announced the global release of Ver1.5 "Snowstorm Covering Liangzhou," the second chapter of the major version update "Hexi" for their free-to-play open-world wuxia action RPG, 『Where Winds Meet』, starting today. This expansion content is provided free of charge for PC/PlayStation/mobile.

This update marks the second act of a major three-chapter story, set in the new area "Liangzhou." Players who have overcome the harsh desert journey in the first chapter, "Yumen Pass," will now step into a new frontier of snow-capped mountains and fortified cities.

The Legendary "Tang Hengdao" Appears

This update introduces the long-awaited new weapon, the "Tang Hengdao." Known as a symbol of the Tang Dynasty, the Hengdao combines aesthetic beauty with power, bringing new strategic depth to the game's combat experience.

It is characterized by its strong and refined appearance, featuring a straight, multi-forged tip and a sharp blade. It possesses a charm different from the gracefully curved scimitar, embodying the spirit and aesthetic sense of the prosperous Tang era.

Furthermore, with the implementation of the Tang Hengdao, new combat motions, "Parry & Counterattack," are also introduced. By discerning enemy attacks, parrying them, and immediately launching a counterattack, players can experience a more proactive and intense battle than ever before. Please experience this new fighting style, where you can cut through the enemy's fierce attacks and seize the initiative yourself.

A New Jianghu Story Unfolds in Liangzhou, the Snow-Bound Frontier of the New Map

In this update, you can enjoy various new elements such as new stories, sects, and battles against formidable enemies, all set in the new area "Liangzhou."

The main story depicts the destinies of people caught in a turbulent era, set in the land of Liangzhou. Through the additional exploration content, you can delve deeper into the world by experiencing the memories and feelings etched into this land.

Furthermore, a new school of thought, "Kyoran" (Mad Waves), also appears. Their strong will, cultivated in fierce battlefields, and their emphasis on bonds with comrades, shape a new style of combat.

In various parts of Liangzhou, unique and powerful enemies await players. Tense battles against rogue leaders and guardians will further enhance the new adventure.

Please experience this new Jianghu story, set in a harsh, snow-covered frontier.
