Where Winds Meet Is Like Ghost of Tsushima in Medieval China - Gamescom Opening Night Live
Developer Everstone Games has unveiled its new open-world RPG, Where Winds Meet. The PC title is an action-adventure game set in the beautiful Ten Kingdoms period of medieval China.
Where Winds Meet debuted a gorgeous reveal trailer at Gamescom that highlights just how expansive its open-world setting is. While we still need to see the game in action ourselves before making any full assessment, it’s not unfair to say that Where Winds Meet is competing with the AAA open-world games like Ghost of Tsushima and Assassin’s Creed.
The trailer highlights several gameplay elements including horseback riding, combat skills, exploration, hunting, and more. The massive open world is being designed to encompass numerous locations including the windy steppes, bamboo forests, and bustling cities.
The game is set during the Ten Kingdoms era between rival dynasties, at the end of the Southern Tang Dynasty. The main character is a mysterious swordsman navigating these treacherous times.
The game will allow players to pursue numerous choices that will affect the game, including what role the swordsman will have in this conflict.
Not only can players pick sides in the war between Kingdoms, but according to Everstone, players can also choose to pursue other roles whether that’s as a doctor, merchant, or even just a wanderer with no set goals.
Everstone Games is also promising numerous playstyles including sword fighting, Wuxia-style martial arts, and even Tai chi. Mix-and-match sword fighting, hand-to-hand combat, and magic.
