One of 2025’s Biggest RPGs Is Getting a Major Update This Week

by

Despite a fantastic year for video games in 2025, Where Winds Meet truly became a standout RPG. Its success wasn’t just luck – players spread the word, the game looked amazing, and it offered a compelling mix of freedom to explore and challenging battles. This happened even as Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 dominated award shows. Since launch, the game has consistently gained fans, and the upcoming update is expected to make it even more popular.

Everstone Studio announced that the 1.2 update for Where Winds Meet will be available worldwide on January 9, 2026. This follows a fun New Year event called “Goose Overlord,” which playfully changed the game and its online presence with goose-themed decorations and activities.

Okay, so the newest update, 1.2, for Where Winds Meet is HUGE. It wraps up the main story arc for the Kaifeng arc – basically, we finally get to finish it! There’s a super tough boss called Supreme Freedom in something called the Campaign Challenge, and honestly, it’s going to be a real test of how good you are at fighting. They’re saying this fight isn’t just about button-mashing; it’s really going to make you think about your choices in the game and deal with some heavy stuff like what you believe in, your responsibilities, and even fate. It sounds like the stakes are way higher than ever before!

This update adds two new areas to explore. Players can now visit the Nine Mortal Ways Camp, a hidden spot under Kaifeng’s Ghost Market, filled with interesting people, hidden items, tricky scams, and unpredictable events. They can also enter Mistveil Prison, a new cave focused on solving puzzles and discovering the story through the environment.

The new 1.2 update for Where Winds Meet introduces Guild Battles, kicking off organized, large-scale guild combat. This preseason features six competitive matches to test how well guilds can work together and strategize. Guilds will be grouped into regional divisions to ensure matches start at the same time for everyone in each area.

The first Jianghu Martial Games, a special, limited-time event, starts on January 9th. It’s designed to be a fun and easy break from the main game, with lighthearted modes like Elder Express and Towering Masters. These activities are quick, social, and offer a more relaxed experience compared to the game’s challenging battles and story. Version 1.2 of Where Winds Meet is a major update, bringing new story content, competitive multiplayer, fresh areas to explore, and this celebratory event all at once.

Significant updates leading up to a game’s release can greatly increase its popularity and number of players. Where Winds Meet is already a successful game of 2025, and being an online, constantly-updated game helps. While single-player games often see a surge in players at launch and with new downloadable content, online games can consistently attract both new and returning players with updates like these.
