If you dig open-world action with a fantasy flair, Where Winds MeetĀ might be one to watch. Developer Everstone Games unveiled its new action gameĀ Where Winds MeetĀ today, and it’s got some style.

Details are scarce so far about it, though we did get ofĀ Where Winds MeetĀ today during Gamescom Opening Night Live 2022. It’s a third-person action game, with some gorgeous views and big open areas.

At first glance, it gives off the third-person action vibes of a modernĀ Assassin’s CreedĀ orĀ Ghost of Tsushima. There are bows, swords, counters and followā›„-ups.

Where Winds MeetĀ is definitešŸ¬ly taking a heavy dose of wuxia inspiration though. The į€£way the protagonist leaps around in the air, or runs up the side of a ship, is pretty sick.

According to ,Ā Where Winds MeetĀ is set during the Ten Kingdoms era. Different factions are vyinšŸ»gź¦ for power, which seems like good fodder for tough choices and also plenty of battles.

More than just a warrior

Developer Everstone Games also tolā™Œd IGN that the player can opt to take sides in the war, or choose to pursue other goals. You can look to be a doctor, merchant, or evešŸ»n just a wandering swordsman.

Different fighting styles will also be incorporšŸ¦¹ated, to add a little variety to fights.

We only got a small bite today, but I’m impressed by what I’ve seen so far ofĀ Where Winds Meet. A little more fantasy action in the third-person open-world action genre could be pretty interesting. No firm date or window has been set yet, but I’m looking forward to hopefully seeing more from this project and team in the future.
