Everstone Studio is celebrating the half-anniversary of its open-world Wuxia ARPG, Where Winds Meet, by unveiling a colossal content roadmap. The highlight of the celebration is the announcement of the game’s second major expansion, “Imperial Palace,” set to launch in late May.
The game has also announced the up-coming Homesteads system, Companion system, and the highly-anticipated new weapon Gauntlets. In addition, a time-limited Panda cosmetic will launch on May 19th for 60 Echo Beads (approximately 0.99 USD). As part of the half-anniversary festivities, players can claim 3 premium outfits for free during the event.
Following the epic conclusion of the “Hexi” expansion, the Jianghu narrative shifts to the heart of the empire. Launching in late May, the “Imperial Palace” expansion unlocks a meticulously crafted 1-million-square-meter royal court and grounds – normally forbidden areas, and comparable in scale to the massive city of Kaifeng.
Wanderers will step into a breathtaking, mysterious oriental palace populated by over 3,000 NPCs and a complex web of intersecting factions. Players will peek behind the curtain of royal life, uncover deep-seated conspiracies, and forge unique connections with members of the royal family, setting the stage for massive narrative foreshadowing.
Beyond the palace walls, Everstone Studio revealed a thrilling roadmap of upcoming new content and features designed to deepen the player experience:
Furry Companions
Future update includes a new Companion System will introduce adorable, furry sidekicks to the Jianghu. As your bond deepens, their personalities and dialogue will dynamically evolve based on your shared adventures.
Limited-Edition Panda Cosmetics
A time-limited Panda cosmetic will launch on May 19th for 60 Echo Beads (approximately $0.99). Inspired by nature’s most beloved icons, this cosmetic aims to raise global awareness for wildlife protection. It will be available in the shop for 30 days until June 17th.
