Where Winds Meet release date
Where Winds Meet released on Friday, November 14, 2025. It launched worldwide on PC and PlayStation 5.
The Where Winds Meet launch date trailer debuted during Gamescom ONL 2025, which finally confimed the global release date after months of speculation. The RPG game is already out in China, but the global launch is now in sight.
Where Winds Meet was first revealed at Gamescom 2022, and while there are definite parallels with the likes of Ghost of Tsushima, it's also a little reminiscent of Breath of the Wild. Unlike Ghost, however, you're not the last man standing in a war-torn land. Instead, life goes on while you roam around the world.
Where Winds Meet gameplay
PK's Where Winds Meet preview deems it a "beautiful action soulslike" that's ideal for players "who want an endless supply of Things To Do, and don't mind the trappings that come with it." A mish-mash of MMO, soulslike, and gacha game, it's certainly ambitious for a debut game.
Where Winds Meet's combat looks as impressive as its visuals, though stealth could well be your friend. If you're a fan of backstabbing enemies, you can become your own murderous chiropractor. If slicing people up isn't your thing, there are a multitude of weapons on offer, including spears, swords, fans, dual blades, umbrellas, and glaives.
In a PlayStation blog post, the developer speaks about the mystical powers you can use not just in combat, but getting around the world, including running up cliffs or across water, or grabbing objects that are out of reach. You'll also be able to mimic animal behavior, leaping like a toad or roaring like a lion.
That said, Where Winds Meet doesn't lean heavily into the supernatural, with most of the opponents on show being distinctly human. You'll be able to choose your protagonist's occupation, which in turn informs their initial skill set. We're half hoping you can just wander around a village, shoeing horses, just when you need a break.
In a behind-the-scenes video shared in early June 2024, we get a much better idea of how Where Winds Meet's weapons are going to behave in-game. Fabled martial arts choreographer Stephen Tung Wai (who you may remember as the student who got slapped by Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon's iconic "don't think, feel" scene) has been brought on board, so you know the action's going to, well, slap.
