Where Winds Meet is a free-to-play, open-world, Wuxia ARPG that has taken the world by storm. Last month, it was revealed that the title reached a massive milestone of 9 million players in just 2 weeks. It seems that the developers are going to keep this pace going as they have announced a bunch of content coming to the title at the start of 2026.

The update will also include Nine Mortal Ways Camp, located in the Ghost Market beneath Kaifeng, and a new puzzle cave, Mistveil Prison.
Additionally, the update will bring Guild Battles: Preseason Tournament, a large-scale, coordinated multiplayer mode in which players participate in six intense matches designed to test guild strategies and coordination. Moreover, the First Jianghu Martial Games, a new limited-time festival, will arrive on January 9 and feature “whimsical modes” such as ‘Elder Express’ and ‘Towering Master’.
