Last month, Everstone Studio and NetEase Games' Wuxia action-adventure-RPG Where Winds Meet launched on PC and PlayStation 5, and it subsequently became one of the hottest games on Steam. Now, the dev team has revealed that this open-world Wuxia game has sailed past an impressive player milestone in only a month.
According to the official social media account for Where Winds Meet, the first month saw 15 million players. "You followed the winds, tested your blades and proved that the best stories are the ones we tell together," reads the statement from Everstone.
No specifics were shared regarding how much playtime each of those people put in or any other details. The mobile launch of Where Winds Meet only occurred near the end of its first month of availability.
"We hoped it would find its audience, the players who would love the freedom and mystery we tried to create," said Where Winds Meet lead producer Beralt Lyu during a recent interview. "The mood in the studio is hard to put into words. There's definitely pride and excitement--seeing years of hard work resonate with so many people is a feeling like no other. But what really hits us, more than anything, is the sense of responsibility."
Earlier this month, Where Winds Meet players discovered ways to trick the AI-powered chatbox NPCs into giving them loot and items without actually doing anything to earn them. That brought an unexpectedly comedic element to the game as well.
