Everstone Studio has officially revealed the dates for the last global playtest of their upcoming action-adventure RPG Where Winds Meet. The playtest window runs from July 24 to 31, 2025, giving international players their first substantial hands-on experience with this Wuxia-inspired open-world title.

Where Winds Meet transports players to 10th-century China during the turbulent Ten Kingdoms period. As a wandering swordsman, players will navigate a vast landscape filled with martial arts combat against both human foes and supernatural creatures. The game has already proven its success in the Chinese market, where it launched for PC in December 2024 and mobile in January 2025, amassing over 15 million players.

Interested players can register for the playtest through Everstone Studio's official channels. Selected participants will receive email notifications with access instructions. The playtest will focus on the urban region of Kaifeng, offering a substantial slice of the game's expansive world.

This final testing phase follows a successful beta conducted in May 2025 for players in the US, Canada, Japan, and South Korea. While the global release date remains unconfirmed, industry insiders speculate the full version will launch before the end of 2025.
