How big is the playable world in the game? How long does it take to get from one end to another of the map?

We expect the first version to have more than 20 square kilometers (5K * 5K), but we are constantly adjusting this according to the content. As the world of this game has a 3D structure, there is an underground space and altitude. The game will continue to be updated and expanded in the future. The first version will feature a large city, Bianjing City, a large wild area, and small towns.

Where Winds Meet has yet to receive a release date on PS5
