A “Eastern Steampunk” Playground: The Hidden Mountain Region
The Hidden Mountain is a sprawling, multi-dimensional “Eastern Steampunk” playground, featuring distinct areas – spanning underwater depths, underground palaces, towering peaks, and floating sky cities.
This unique aesthetic is rooted in the lore of the mountain’s hidden Mohist sect. As legendary masters of ingenious engineering from ancient times, they have transformed the entire mountain into a giant epic mechanism, packed with hundreds of intricate mechanical devices.
- Freedom of Movement: Players can utilize Lightness Skill, climbing, gliding, and all-new mechanical vehicles to navigate the massive elevation changes. Every cliff, subterranean cave, and hidden enclave behind a roaring waterfall is fully explorable.
- Build Your Own Path: The expansion introduces a DIY mechanical crafting and custom vehicle assembly gameplay. Players can stitch together complex components to build their own mechanical contraptions and custom vehicles to solve puzzles and forge new pathways.
The Dawn of Where Winds Meet 2.0: A Sensory and Visual Leap
To maximize player immersion, the Hidden Mountain expansion is bringing major visual and auditory enhancements to the game. Optimized wind dynamics create layered acoustics as gales sweep through mountain canyons, while overhauled rock textures vividly depict the natural traces of wind, water, and time. Finally, a brand-new light rendering and ray-tracing system realistically simulates the mountain’s complex, delicate lighting, drawing players deeper into the world.
Expand Your Arsenal: New Sect, Weapons, and Combat
- New Mohist Hill Sect: Hidden deep within the sea of clouds, this new sect is tailor-made for players who love crafting and construction. As the game’s first building-specialized sect, its disciples receive unique, unparalleled buffs to their architectural and mechanical crafting abilities.
- New Gauntlet Discipline: Experience the brutal, “fist-to-flesh” kinetic energy of martial monk brawling. The new Gauntlet Discipline allows players to engage in ultra-close-quarters combat, execute lightning-fast combos, and deliver devastating, instant-burst damage to shatter enemy defenses.
- A New Caliber of Bosses: Face off against unique new bosses, heavily featuring mechanical and clockwork horrors, some require players to solve environmental mechanism puzzles mid-combat, others test players’ skills through relentless strikes or venomous blades.
Mark your calendars for July 23 (UTC) and step into the breathtaking Hidden Mountain. Your journey into the Eastern Steampunk world begins here!
