While it technically went live earlier this week, Update 1.2 for Where Winds Meet brings the conclusion of the Kaifeng chapter to all players today. Alongside the Nameless General World Boss and Jianghu Martial Games, players can take on the final boss of the current campaign. To showcase exactly what you’ll be dealing with, some new gameplay is available courtesy of the New Game+ Showcase.
It sees the protagonist confronting a singular individual against the backdrop of a moonlit lake. Suddenly, the world turns all painterly, and they’re forced to confront a shapeshifting Phantom, which takes on the forms of other bosses like River Master, Dao Lord, Murong Yuan, and Zheng E. Suffice it to say that you’d better remember their patterns.
On the bright side, each attack splashes like ink strokes, creating this pool on the “canvas” that resembles paint and adding to the surrealism. Don’t worry about where the story goes next, as a new region, the Nine Mortal Ways Base, drops on January 22nd. Players can also look forward to the Mistveil Prison Puzzle Cave and Guild Battle Preseason Event on January 16th.
A new story, Whispers Beneath the Moon, goes live on January 25th, followed by the Year of Abundance and Season-End Dash events on January 29th.
