HANGZHOU, China, Nov. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NetEase Games and Everstone Studio today launched Hutuo, the latest major region for the epic Wuxia ARPG Where Winds Meet, available now as part of the game’s 1st Global Anniversary update.

Where Winds Meet is a free-to-play open-world Wuxia ARPG that lets players forge their own legend in 10th-century China. Boasting over 100 million players worldwide and a “Very Positive” rating on Steam, the game is now celebrating its 1st global anniversary, kicking off with a special livestream, a player-focused documentary, and the most generous rewards since launch for both new and returning players.

Defining ‘Xia’ in the Crucible of War: The Hutuo Battlefield

That test of ‘Xia’ comes to a head at the battle of Zhongdu Bridge. Caught between waves of displaced civilians and an unstoppable tide of steel, players must answer when loyalty and justice pull in opposite directions – and how they answer captures the truest essence of righteousness and conviction.

Beyond the battlefield, Hutuo’s war-scarred frontier tells the story from every side – from conflicted soldiers defying brutal orders to ordinary folk sheltering refugees. Three new Jianghu Legacy storylines ask what “Xia” truly means in the darkest corner of the history.
