The first major expansion for the epic open-world martial arts game Where Winds Meet, titled "Hexi," will be released soon. This expansion takes players on an adventure through different time periods and settings, immersing them in a historical world that feels almost dreamlike.

Three Chapters, One Grand Journey

The "Hexi" expansion consists of three chapters rolling out between March and May 2026. The update includes three main maps along with nearly twenty smaller regions, featuring environments like vast deserts, frozen wastelands, snow-covered mountains, and wide grasslands.

Players will encounter eleven distinct boss fights throughout these areas, complete numerous side quests, and discover additional stories woven into every corner of the world.

A Story Told Through the Eyes of the People

The HEXI Expansion Update lets players take on roles as characters within a pivotal moment in history, experiencing events from an ordinary person's viewpoint. What sets the "Hexi" storyline apart is that it operates independently from the main game's timeline, presenting a self-contained narrative with a more cinematic presentation and interactive experience.

"You'll journey back through time to the Tang Dynasty, one of China's most prosperous historical periods — yet one on the edge of decline."

The Dream of Returning Home

The Tang Dynasty is in decline, and "Hexi," cut off from the central capital "Chang'an" for generations, remains isolated. The people living on these frontier lands have long dreamed of returning home.

In this journey, you take on a quest to reconnect with your origins — traversing deserts and mountains, facing legendary warriors, and uncovering the untold stories of a forgotten land at the edge of an empire.
