NetEase Games and its subsidiary, Everstone Studio, have seen their martial arts open-world action-adventure RPG, Where Winds Meet, surpass 2 million cumulative users within just 24 hours of its global launch.

Where Winds Meet wasted no time climbing the charts on Steam right out of the gate. It secured a spot in the top 4 most popular games and the top 5 most played games globally, hitting a peak of 190,000 concurrent players. It is also making waves on consoles, landing in the top 3 best-sellers across seven major regions on the PS Store.

Set during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Where Winds Meet features a highly free-roaming martial arts sandbox. As a wandering martial artist, players can explore the landscape, mastering everything from swordplay and Tai Chi to light-foot skills, shadow puppetry, and even traditional lion dances. The game is characterized by its sprawling open world, historically grounded action, and realistic combat choreography.

Where Winds Meet had been building anticipation through closed beta tests, and that momentum has translated into positive reception post-launch. Players have praised the high degree of freedom, striking visuals, and the charming reinterpretation of traditional cultural elements.
