Free-to-play role-playing game (RPG) Where winds meet gets a massive new expansion in a dreamy desert.
Where wind meets Hexi begins on March 6, 2026, bringing not just one, but three huge new desert-themed open world maps containing nearly 20 sub-regions. They will be released in three sequential chapters, starting with the inaugural ‘Jade Gate Pass’ next week.
In a recent preview livestream, developer Ella shared that the focus of this expansion will be “a much more cinematic approach to storytelling” that is “completely different” from the team’s previous approach.

She also revealed that the setting, Hexi, is based on a mix of real-life history and myth. “We wanted to create something unique Where winds meet” she said. “A more poetic, romantic vision of the frontier.”
The entire expansion takes place in a dream setting, letting the team experiment with fantastical visuals like floating, crumbling buildings, beautiful golden trees, and parades of magical, camel-carrying incense burners.
As you’d expect, these new areas will be packed with things to do, from fresh story content to a flurry of side quests and 11 terrifying new bosses to defeat.
Two new martial arts will also be added to Umbrella and Roped Dart respectively, introducing new traversal and combat options.
The Hexi the expansion will be free for all players and offer hundreds of free rewards. It’s available to preload now, and if you haven’t experienced it Where winds meet however, you can download the base game for free on PS5, PC and mobile.
