Where Winds Meet opens the Imperial Palace on May 28

Where Winds Meet is finally letting players into the Imperial Palace later this month. Everstone Studio has confirmed the new area opens on Thursday, May 28, giving regular players access to a location that had been off-limits in the multiplayer wuxia action RPG.

The palace has been one of the more obvious locked-away spaces in the game, so this is a pretty straightforward but notable update for anyone who’s been wondering when that restriction would end. The original announcement said access was coming soon, and now there’s an actual date attached to it.

Beyond that, the source doesn’t go into much detail about what players will find inside the Imperial Palace, so it’s not clear yet whether this is mainly a new exploration zone, a story-focused addition, or something tied to broader progression. For now, the main takeaway is simple: the area opens May 28.

Where Winds Meet is NetEase and Everstone Studio’s open-world wuxia RPG, built around martial arts combat and multiplayer play. If you’ve been active in the game and kept running up against the palace boundary, that wait is almost over.
