The much-anticipated free RPG coming to PlayStation 5, Where Winds Meet, is slowly gathering steam and earning positive feedback on early play.
Right up until the launch, which is scheduled for 14 November 2025, we’ll be getting teasers and glimpses of what to expect when this MMORPG is in the hands of PlayStation and PC gamers.
Perhaps one of the best teasers, so far, has come via Twitter, where one player has shown just what happens when a player breaks the law.
The developers have certainly taken a leaf out of the Game of Thrones book, as they give players the option to reduce their ‘sentence’ by being paraded through the game’s streets.

Akin to Cersei’s walk through the streets of King’s Landing, while players won’t be stripped down to their birthday suits, they will be subject to comments from other players, and even be pelted with fruit and vegetables.
As we can see in the footage posted to social media, one criminal player is carted through town in a cage being pulled by horses.
Others crowd around, launching vegetables at them, likely shouting the word ‘shame’ over and over again.
This is a hilarious feature for Where Winds Meet, and will likely provide some interesting scenarios when the game finally launches.
In this MMORPG, players are able to break the law, should it reflect their character's backstory and goals.
However, step over the line too many times, and you’ll be placed in jail.
How long for is hard to say, and what prison life is like in this fantasy RPG is equally difficult to determine, but it’s good to know that you can be made to look the fool just to shorten that sentence in the slammer.
Will we all be crowding around our law-breaking friends calling ‘shame’ and making them feel the guilt they truly deserve?
Chinese players are already doing just that, and when the game gets a worldwide release, you’d better make sure you’ve got plenty of rotten lettuce to throw.
Coming also to PC, and mobile platforms, players will traverse 10th century China solving the mysteries behind the identity of our playable swords master.
Keep your eye on this one, or give it a go for free when it arrives on PlayStation 5 in the coming week.
