Everstone Studio has officially unveiled the Version 1.2 update for its popular open-world Wuxia action RPG, Where Winds Meet, set to release globally on January 9, 2026. The major update unveils the Final Volume of Kaifeng, introduces Guild Battle Preseason, expands the world with new regions and puzzle caves. This follows the community-driven Goose Overlord New Year Takeover, which delighted players across the world earlier this month.

Where Winds Meet Next Major Update Is Coming

To kick off 2026, Where Winds Meet amused its worldwide community with the whimsical Goose Overlord Takeover event. The fan-favorite goose mascot “seized control” of the game, leading to playful in-game surprises and real-world stunts. Giant goose visuals appeared on billboards across Tokyo, Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, and Hong Kong, while Taipei hosted a “Goose Giant” pop-up that drew large crowds. Players also witnessed a goose-eye livestream takeover across official platforms, joining thousands of fans in a fun, lighthearted start to the new year.

Version 1.2 expands the game’s map and narrative scope, taking players into the Nine Mortal Ways Camp — a hidden hub beneath Kaifeng’s Ghost Market teeming with colorful characters, thrilling stories, and mischievous con artists. Adventurers can also test their puzzle-solving skills in the newly discovered Mistveil Prison, packed with secrets and hidden treasures.

The update’s major storyline completes the Kaifeng Saga, with the climactic confrontation against Supreme Freedom, a powerful new boss who challenges players’ convictions and moral choices. The final chapter promises not only intense combat but also introspective decisions that test one’s balance between belief, duty, and destiny.

Guild Battles Enter the Preseason Phase

The long-awaited Guild Battle mode makes its debut with a worldwide preseason tournament. Featuring six major matches, this competitive feature focuses on large-scale team coordination and guild strategy. To ensure fair access, guilds will be grouped by regional servers, with matches synchronized according to local time zones.

Kicking off alongside the update, the first Jianghu Martial Games promise a carnival of joyful chaos. The limited-time festival introduces quirky mini-game modes such as Elder Express and Towering Masters, offering quick, casual fun for all players. With no prerequisites or pressure, these events encourage everyone to dive in, compete, and share laughs across the martial world.

Whether drawn by epic storytelling, strategic guild warfare, or community celebrations, Where Winds Meet Version 1.2 delivers something for every type of player. Log in on January 9, 2026, and step into the next thrilling chapter of your wanderer’s journey.
