Global game company NetEase Games and its subsidiary developer Everstone Studio announced that their open-world wuxia action RPG Where Winds Meet will launch Version 1.3, titled “Spring’s Bliss,” on February 6. Timed ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday period, this update will introduce a wide range of new content, including a new sect, a new Mystic Skill, new world bosses, an Alliance Battle League, and special jianghu-themed Lunar New Year events.

Version 1.3 adds a new sect, The Masked Troupe, which will be available starting February 13. The Masked Troupe is a sect rooted in Chinese traditional opera culture and orthodox martial arts, letting players experience a distinctive combat style that blends martial techniques with operatic performance.

Version 1.3 also introduces a new Mystic Skill, Contortion. By using Contortion, players can temporarily shrink their body, allowing them to slip into narrow gaps that were previously inaccessible and experience a new type of martial technique in play. Contortion can be learned through a new Lunar New Year event.

Alongside the version update, new world bosses will also appear in the jianghu. Drunk Martial Artist and Coffin Master will arrive as new bosses, and players will be able to encounter them while exploring the wilderness. Drunk Martial Artist is designed to convey an untamed, uncontrollable wildness, while Coffin Master presents a contrasting style with a sinister, gloomy atmosphere. Each boss fight offers an opportunity to challenge a different combat style and rhythm.

With the February 6 update, a completely new Alliance Battle League will also begin. Players will be assigned to tier groups through placement matches, then enter a regular season where they can compete in group-ranking battles. Alliance Battles are set to offer a variety of rewards, including Echo Jade and hero titles.

Finally, to celebrate the upcoming holiday period, a series of Lunar New Year events will run across the jianghu from February 6 through March 5. Players will also be able to enjoy a range of rewards, including holiday-themed costumes and items.
