While it has a major expansion launching later this year in the form of Imperial Palace, Where Winds Meet is getting a fairly significant update on March 5 to add a new region. Hexi is described as offering stunning “boundless realms,” including the Jade Gate, Liangzhou and Qichuan, each with unique conditions. Check out the announcement trailer below for more details.

Of course, they also bring several new threats to the fore, including hulking warriors with cannons, a mystical deer, a giant tengu-like being, and even a lamia who calls down lightning. Each new boss looks pretty intense, and one can only hope that the rewards are worth the fight.

Stay tuned for more details on Hexi in the coming weeks. Where Winds Meet is available on PS5, PC, iOS and Android, having first launched worldwide in November 2025 and crossing 15 million players within its first month. Subsequent updates have added new locations like the Roaring Sands and Nine Mortal Ways Base, new World Bosses, limited-time events, Hero’s Realms, and much more.
