Where Winds Meet Liangzhou Update: Release Date, New Weapon and Storylines

The wuxia open-world epic from Everstone Studio is ready for a giant, cold, and frosty expansion. After the Hexi expansions' first chapter was a hit, the studio has now announced that the Where Winds Meet Liangzhou Release Date is going to be April 2, 2026 (UTC). This update is the second act of a three-part expansion series. Besides changing the backdrop from the hot, desert sands of Jade Gate Pass to the dangerous, snow-covered mountains of the Liangzhou frontier, the game also offers the players a totally different vibe, that is, from "yellow sands" to a "city of wine and jade" as in an ancient Tang Dynasty poem.

Huge Changes in Weaponry and Martial Arts

The biggest change coming to the Liangzhou Release Date is the Heng Blade. This famous weapon of the Tang Dynasty is characterized by a straight-angled tip and sharp contours, and a refined "deflect-and-counter" combat style. In order to be as authentic as possible, the fight moves were actually choreographed by

Stephen Tung Wai, a seven-time Hong Kong Film Award winner. The Heng Blade will come with the "Stonesplit Strength" martial arts path, which is a switch from the slow-and-powerful Mo Blade to the nimble and quick one.
