Where Winds Meet Version 1.2 brings finale to Kaifeng storyline and new area beneath Kaifeng

After the fun New Year event, “Goose Overlord Takeover,” which celebrated the new year in real life, the Version 1.2 update is coming soon. This update adds new areas to explore and finishes the story of Kaifeng.

Update 1.2 brings the vibrant Nine Mortal Ways Camp to the game, a hidden area found beneath the Ghost Market in Kaifeng. You’ll meet unusual characters, discover hidden treasures, and experience surprising events there – but be careful, as not everyone is trustworthy! We’ve also added Mistveil Prison, a brand new puzzle cave to explore.

As I said before, this update will finish the story arc in Kaifeng. You’ll get to battle “Supreme Freedom,” a Campaign Challenge boss that we think will be our most difficult fight so far. The battle has several stages that get harder and harder, and it will make you think about what you believe, what you owe to others, and your own destiny.

Version 1.2 Guild Battle Preseason introduces large-scale multiplayer combat

Beyond that, Version 1.2 introduces large-scale, team-based combat with the start of the Guild Battle Preseason. This tournament features six exciting matches, and guilds will compete within regional groups based on their location. Matches will begin at the same time for players in each time zone.

The development team has announced that they’re planning to add even more features and activities for guilds in future updates.

The First Jianghu Martial Games arrives with Version 1.2 Update

Version 1.2 will include the First Jianghu Martial Games, a limited-time event starting January 9th. This fun festival features two game modes – Elder Express and Towering Masters – where you can quickly complete challenges or simply hang out with friends.

This update looks fantastic! It includes exciting new areas to discover, a satisfying conclusion to the current storyline, large-scale battles with other players, and a fun seasonal event. I’m really looking forward to trying it all when it releases on January 9th.
