Where Winds Meet's Hexi expansion launches globally on March 6.

The wuxia open-world action RPG is set to expand dramatically on March 6, bringing three new maps, nearly twenty regions, and eleven bosses to global players.

The world of Where Winds Meet is about to grow dramatically larger. Ahead of the Hexi expansion's global launch on March 6 (UTC), the development team has announced a dedicated preview livestream to give fans an early look at what's coming.

Fans can catch the livestream on February 27, 2026 at 2:00 UTC: 

An official expansion trailer is already available, offering a first glimpse at the sweeping new frontier.

A faster rollout than China’s original schedule

Starting March 6, the Hexi expansion will transport Wanderers back in time to witness legendary heroes and pivotal historical myths - what the team describes as a ''unique, dreamlike journey.'' It marks a major content milestone for the game, introducing three expansive new maps, nearly twenty distinct regions, and eleven formidable new bosses.

The three regions roll out as follows: Jade Gate Pass in March, Liangzhou in April, and Qinchuan in May.

In China (CN), Hexi content followed a longer cadence:

  1. Jade Gate Pass (Version 1.7) released approximately three months after the game’s launch (late March).
  2. Liangzhou (Version 1.9) arrived two months after Jade Gate Pass (mid-May).
  3. Qinchuan (Version 1.9) launched roughly three months after Liangzhou (late August).

Global players, by contrast, will receive each new map on a compressed 28-day cycle, placing them on a speedier timeline.

For the Hexi showcase, fans can expect appearances from other Where Winds Meet creators, including BlueSquadron, Just Memplex and The Act Man, teased via the game’s official X account.

All eyes turn to March 6 when the Wanderers will step into Hexi for the first time.
