Hi! My name is Beralt Lyu, the producer of Everstone Studio and I am delighted to announce that our title Where Winds Meet will come to PlayStation 5. We've spent 5 years creating our epic open-world action-adventure RPG game Wuxia, so we're really excited to bring it to all PlayStation fans. Wuxia is a genre of fiction and cinema featuring warriors of ancient China, often shown using feats of superhuman martial arts – think Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Or House of Flying Daggers. Then think of yourself, as a young swordsman or swordsman, having the chance to master these amazing Chinese martial arts, improve your combat prowess or, more intriguingly, solve puzzles and roam our vast landscape.
Your character can use the mystical power of Qinggong to climb steep cliffs or traverse the shimmering surface of water at high speeds or use the power of Chi to stun enemies from a distance, or seize objectives far from reach. Martial arts skills can also be learned by observing and imitating animal behavior. Breathe fire like a dragon, jump like a giant toad, or roar like a lion: all skills that can prove incredibly useful against many enemies, whether human or perhaps that giant bear you have. accidentally provoked!
Where Winds Meet is set in the period of Chinese history known as the Five Dynasties and the Ten Kingdoms. For us, this historical period offers an exciting opportunity – as it has been a time of great turbulence and change and represents the perfect setting for our young hero to chart his path and discover his destiny. There is of course a story to unfold and reveal as the game progresses. For example, you will discover the mystery of your own identity, discover the historical context of this epic adventure, experience intriguing encounters with captivating characters, and then, most likely, combat. with them!… But we won't say much about it now, that remains to be discovered!
It’s truly the open world of the game that we can’t wait to show you. It is a vast and seamless open world, which will unfold before your eyes revealing breathtaking landscapes. You will venture through different regions rich in historical and cultural features, interacting with various local NPCs and reveling in the Wuxia influence, so evident in the puzzles and intrigues, the narration and of course the “Wuxia Stories” . Whether it's individuals like the erratic behavior of a villager in the Qinghe region or the machinations of various factions at play, we think you'll be intrigued to delve deeper into the narrative thread that underpins our martial arts saga.
Where Winds Meet has an oriental martial arts theme and we attach great importance to the presentation of martial arts (Wuxia) elements in the game. Weapons are an important part of the player's combat ability. We are trying to restore a variety of unique weapons in Wuxia martial arts to the game, such as spear, sword, fan, dual blades, umbrella and Glaive.
In addition to weapons, the game also features equally important combat abilities, which are a legacy and extension of the traditional Chinese martial arts, kung fu. It includes real-life combat moves and ones that seem to defy the laws of physics, adding a romantic, fantasy element to the combat system.
We hope to introduce players around the world to the unique charm of wuxia martial arts fighting. Players can use Accupoint Hit to temporarily freeze opponents or use Chi Grip to disarm opponents and launch a counterattack. There will also be powerful enemies that you can challenge. It's this diversity of strategy and variety of weapons and skills that makes Where Winds Meet so compelling, we think, and we hope PlayStation fans will agree!
We hope you find the setting intriguing, rich, stimulating and refreshingly different. We will of course optimize the game's control for PlayStation and the PS5 DualSense controller, allowing users to navigate the mysteries and moves of martial arts for a fluid and unforgettable adventure.
Stay tuned for more information on Where Winds Meet for PlayStation 5.
