Where Winds Meet has been riding high on the release of the Imperial Palace expansion, but it seems that Everstone has no intention of slowing down, with the new “Companions Make Home” update now slated for a June 25, 2026, release.
You’re going to be called back to Qinghe for this one to restore the ruins of Blissful Retreat back to its former glory. That’s a welcome task given that this was the place where it all began. Of course, you’re not expected to do it alone, and you get to build a community around your efforts by recruiting locals to assist with the restoration, while you get to design and show off your own residence. Talk about making the best use of real estate. Your Homestead could keep you quite busy once it’s up and running with a host of dedicated activities for you to indulge in.
That’s the “home” part of things taken care of, but it’s the “companions” bit that has us quite eager for this one to drop. Maverick, Scar, and Pudding are three feline friends you can make in The Jianghu, and they’re coming with dynamic behaviours that are probably going to be a factor when you try to befriend them. We’re wondering if it is going to be us adopting them or the other way around. Goldie the goose is swinging by a week later, if birds are more your thing. There’s even going to be a pet battle system, although we can’t see ourselves putting those adorable little ones in any kind of danger.
There are also themed events that bring in popular franchises like Tomb Raider, with some activities that look like they’re going to be as enjoyable as they are challenging to look forward to. There’s a trailer, of course, that we’ve showcased below if you want a closer look at all that’s coming.
