Right after releasing a new concept trailer, highlighting the beauty of the Hidden Mountain, Everstone Studio brings the action with a new gameplay trailer for Where Winds Meet. It also confirms that the expansion will become available for all players on July 23rd, so you’d better get to catching up.

After the intrigue and conspiracies of the Imperial Palace, players venture to Mohist Hill, where the “heart of Mohist ingenuity” resides. It’s a far more vertical region than you may expect, which allows for flexing one’s traversal skills, but as the latest trailer showcases, there’s plenty of danger.

There’s a mechanical, insect-like boss who collides with the player using a massive bulkhead, and a serpent-like foe with massive pincers that can ensnare you if you’re not careful. At one point, we even see a group of marionettes attacking the player to the rhythm of their masters, not unlike the Chief Disciple of the Seven Stars from Phantom Blade Zero.

Other fantastical sights await, including piloting a massive mechanical bird amid crumbling architecture in the skies. If it follows the same release pattern as past expansions, then expect its upcoming launch to mark the first “phase” of its rollout. Interestingly, Everstone describes this as “Where Winds Meet 2.0″ and the “Wuxia New Era,” so take that as you will and stay tuned for more details on the content.
