Where Winds Meet is a new third-person open-world game featuring action, adventure, and martial arts. From the looks of it, this feels like a mix between Ghost of Tsushima and Assassin's Creed. So yeah, I'm kind of excited about it.

In Where Winds Meet, you'll play as a hero shaped by chaos, embarking on a chivalrous journey filled with danger and battles. You will also be able to expand your skills to boost your chances of survival. For example, you can become a lifesaving doctor, a wealth-gaining merchant, or even explore ancient Kaifeng City as an NPC.

Combat in Where Winds Meet will be a key part, with Wuxia skills, attacks, and counterattacks playing a major role. You'll be able to even use a Tai chi skill to turn the enemy's attacks back onto himself. According to the devs, you'll have the freedom to define your combat style.

The game also promises to pack a free construction system with 600 authentic antique components and an environment system. These will allow players to interact with the whole world. Oh, and since this is an open-world title, you can expect to enjoy some beautiful wide vistas.

What is that bonus clip supposed to represent? It looks ridiculously long and silly if it's meant to be a travel mechanic

Looks like you've answered your own question. It's just an over the top travel mechanic, lol. That's why I included it in the OP.

Edit. Might as well include a link to the game's steam page:

For whatever reason, I wish this wasn't an F2P title. But maybe even a good playthrough in single player will be fine and can make it through reasonably without spending money.

I guess it's up to 32 players? You can duel, raid, do events etc.

Im guessing for all the good ones
Me too by the way, this game screamed single player adventure when they first showed it and it kind of still does now.

This is a free to play game. There has been several playtests already, it's F2P and online only. The 32 player thing is only something I've seen recently.

I too, thought this was a single player buy to play game. It's been known it's f2p though for quite some time, I just wish it wasn't. BUT if they can do it right, I can play the game for free. They won't do it right.

Even says "Free" when you look the game up on steam:
