FTS: Where Winds Meet Introduces First Major Expansion: Hexi, Chapter One “Jade Gate Pass” Coming on Mar 6th

Massive expansion featuring 3 major maps, nearly 20 sub-regions- spanning deserts, ice fields, and grasslands, available for free!


GUANGZHOU, China – (Feb 27th, 2026) – Where Winds Meet is proud to unveil the game’s first major expansion, “Hexi”. The new expansion will be free-to-play on PC, PlayStation® and mobile. It consists of three major chapters, with chapter 1: Jade Gate Pass launching on Mar 6th, bringing a mesmerizing desert area, brand-new narratives, bosses, as well as fresh gameplay features and martial art styles to the Jianghu.



From March to May 2026, players will unlock Hexi's three chapters - Jade Gate Pass, Liangzhou and Qinchuan - in sequence. Spanning deserts, ice fields, and grasslands, each chapter introduces brand new landscape and challenges. Featuring 3 major maps, nearly 20 sub-regions, 11 unique bosses, 7 Jianghu Legacies, dozens of side quests, and more, the Hexi expansion is a truly distinctive addition to the game with rich content waiting to be discovered!

Sneak Peek Into The Hexi Narrative - A Dream to the Tang Dynasty
The entire Hexi expansion exists outside the game’s current main timeline, inviting players into a dream that harkens back to one of ancient China’s most glorious eras - the Tang Dynasty. Hexi adopts a more cinematic approach to storytelling and gameplay. As the developers push boundaries and bring something fresh to the table, players will inhabit characters in history and become a witness to the era and live through the fates of ordinary people caught in the tides of history. It is the ordinary people who make up history, and that is what makes Hexi's main story unique. 
 
Hexi Chapter 1: Jade Gate Pass Brings New Desert Exploration Gameplay
On March 6th UTC, the biggest expansion since launch will begin at Chapter 1: Jade Gate Pass - a desert area with sand and poetry, and generations holding onto hope.

After the update, players will be able to obtain 2 new tricks, Cosmic Reversal and Sand Chaser, both designed to optimize the unique experience when wandering in the massive desert. Sand Chaser allows you to surf on the sand, and Cosmic Reversal enables you to reverse time and rebuild the ruins in the desert, which can be useful for overcoming obstacles, uncovering secrets, and solving puzzles. What you need may simply be your imagination and a touch of curiosity. In addition to matchmaking battles, there will be even more gameplay fun and strategic depth. New gameplay, Sand Table Struggle and Heroic Gauntlet, will also be available for a limited time!
 
Campaign boss at Jade Gate Pass: Guo Xin
With this update a brand-new campaign, White-Crown City, opens. This border pass lies between Jade Gate Pass and Liangzhou Area; for centuries, it has been a crossroads of east - west travel and a vital part of ancient frontier defense. Today, the once-bustling pass lies abandoned, as time quietly erodes its former glory.
 
When players enter this land, ancient legends are rekindled: Guo Xin, the last Grand Protector of Anxi, stands as the guardian of this lonely outpost. Time has turned his hair to white as he watches over the frontier in solitude, while you personally witness all that unfolds on this desolate ground and uncover the secrets hidden behind history.
 
World Boss: The Wandering Ark
Across the sand sea, there is a roaming world boss - The Wandering Ark - a colossal vessel that moves freely and isn’t tied to any single location. In the midst of a sandstorm, its enormous hull seems to cut through the night, delivering a visually imposing presence while players must precisely target its weak points as they shift between ranged and close-quarters combat, choosing their moves with care. The legend of The Wandering Ark is closely tied to Hexi’s lore and awaits discovery by players.
 
Two new Martial Arts for Umbrella and Rope Dart
Additionally, the Jade Gate Pass update will introduce a new path: Bamboocut Dust, including two new Martial Art styles. The first, Spring Dreamscape, is an Umbrella-style art focused on agility, enabling fluid, endless combos and excelling in tight spaces or group skirmishes. The second one, Fleeting Clouds, is a new Rope Dart art that centers on large, sweeping AOE attacks. Its moves cover a wide area, making it ideal for crowd control; in one-on-one duels, you can keep the pressure on and chase down enemies for relentless damage.

The Hexi expansion pre-download is available now. With a bold new chapter in Where Winds Meet, we welcome you to step into the Jianghu - as new adventures await!

CAIRN: Why Climbers and Challenge-Seekers Should Consider This Ascent

Grab CAIRN on Epic Games Store or Steam!

Some games ask you to defeat enemies. Some games ask you to conquer worlds.

CAIRN asks you to climb. And that shift alone changes the change of pace in traditional game objectives. At its core, CAIRN isn’t about speed, flashy combos, or cinematic spectacle. It’s about precision. Physics. Decision-making under pressure. It’s about reading the rock face the way a real climber reads terrain — calculating reach, balance, and consequence before committing to the next move.

For climbers, that’s familiar territory.

 For gamers looking for something different, that’s a refreshing challenge. Let's play!


 A Game That Respects the Mountain 

CAIRN isn’t a “hold forward to climb” experience.

Every move requires intention.
Every shift in weight matters.
Every grip can become your lifeline — or your mistake.

That design philosophy is what separates it from arcade-style climbing games. It leans into realism and consequence rather than convenience. Climbers understand this immediately: progress isn’t handed to you. It’s earned.

The mountain doesn’t care about your ego.

And neither does CAIRN.


 Why Climbers Might Appreciate It 

For those who climb in real life — whether indoors or outdoors — CAIRN offers something rare: mechanical respect.

1. Movement Feels Deliberate

Climbing isn’t just about upper-body strength. It’s about balance, leverage, and positioning. CAIRN mirrors that idea by requiring players to manage body placement carefully rather than button-mashing their way upward.

2. Tension Is Constant

Anyone who’s hung on a hold thinking, “If this slips…” understands that quiet mental pressure. CAIRN captures that tension in digital form. There’s no explosive soundtrack pushing you forward — just you, the rock, and your next decision.

3. Planning Matters

Route-reading is part of climbing culture. In CAIRN, blindly moving upward often leads to failure. Observing the surface and anticipating the next move is part of the experience.

It’s not about rushing.
It’s about surviving the ascent.


 Why Gamers Might Love the Alternate Challenge 

Even if you’ve never climbed a real wall in your life, CAIRN presents something modern gaming sometimes lacks: vulnerability.

There are no health bars to brute-force through.
No overpowered skill trees to lean on.
No cinematic cutscene saving you from a bad move.

If you’re a gamer who enjoys:

  • Soulslike tension

  • Survival-level consequence

  • Skill-based progression

  • Mechanical mastery

  • Slow-burn achievement

CAIRN scratches that itch — but in a completely different genre.

Instead of dodging attacks, you’re managing balance.
Instead of fighting bosses, you’re fighting gravity.


 Mental Challenge > Reflex Challenge 

CAIRN isn’t twitch-heavy in the traditional sense. It’s mentally demanding.

You’ll ask yourself:

  • Can I reach that hold?

  • Is that grip stable?

  • Am I overextending?

  • If I move here, what’s my recovery plan?

It’s a puzzle — but one that’s always in motion.

And that kind of challenge is increasingly rare in a gaming landscape built around instant gratification.


 The Beauty of Isolation 

There’s something quietly powerful about a game that places you alone against nature.

No minimap clutter.
No crowded HUD.
No constant chatter.

Just the climb.

That minimalism gives CAIRN an almost meditative layer beneath its tension. It’s not loud. It’s focused.

For some players, that focus becomes therapeutic.
For others, it becomes intense.

Either way, it’s memorable.


 Who This Game Is Really For 

CAIRN isn’t designed for everyone.

It’s for:

  • Players who enjoy earning progress.

  • Climbers who appreciate mechanical authenticity.

  • Gamers who want something outside traditional combat loops.

  • People who don’t mind failing — and learning from it.

If you want explosive action every 30 seconds, this might not be your lane.

But if you want to feel the climb — physically, mentally, emotionally — CAIRN offers a rare kind of engagement.

CAIRN doesn’t promise dominance, but it's certainly rewarding.

For climbers, it mirrors familiar struggle in a new medium.
For gamers, it offers a fresh kind of tension that doesn’t rely on combat.

And in a world full of noise, sometimes the most compelling challenge is simple:

Can you make it to the top?

Game on.
