Overview
- Everstone Studio has announced a major expansion called Hidden Mountain that the developer presents as the start of a '2.0' era for Where Winds Meet.
- The expansion adopts an Eastern Steampunk aesthetic inspired by Mohist engineering to justify new building and machine-focused systems inside the game world.
- Hidden Mountain is built around vertical exploration across linked biomes, including underwater caverns, underground palaces, mountain peaks and floating sky cities, with climbing, gliding and mechanical vehicles for traversal.
- A new mechanical crafting system lets players assemble machines and custom vehicles to solve puzzles and access areas while the Mohist Hill Sect provides faction bonuses that boost building and engineering playstyles.
- Combat and technical upgrades include the Gauntlet close‑range discipline, clockwork bosses that require manipulating environmental mechanisms during fights, reworked rock textures, layered wind audio and a new lighting and ray‑tracing system.
