The Real Deal Arrives! Where Winds Meet Features Fire Cloud Evil in Its Latest Trailer

For those who are not familiar with “Fire Cloud Evil”

“Fire Cloud Evil” refers to the Fire Cloud Evil God (or Huoyun Xie Shen), a notorious, powerful villain in Hong Kong martial arts cinema, famously in Stephen Chow’s Kung Fu Hustle, who wields immense power and is often associated with fiery energy, though recent Chinese films (like Mask of Chaos) feature the character in new adventures, continuing his legacy. 

The gaming community is buzzing with excitement after the release of the latest trailer for the martial arts epic Where Winds Meet. This time, the spotlight shines brightly as legendary actor Bruce Leung Siu-lung makes a surprise appearance. Known worldwide for his unforgettable role as the fearsome Fire Cloud Evil in the iconic film Kung Fu Hustle, his participation elevates the game’s presence and bridges the timeless world of cinematic martial arts with the immersive landscape of gaming.

Where Winds Meet brings Fire Cloud Evil back to showcase the legendary Toad Style

The newly released video arrives with a caption describing an eternal clash between light and shadow, where the classic Toad Style (Inspired by Jinyong’s Legend of Condor Heroes Ouyang Feng’s strongest skill “Toad Stance” 蛤蟆功.) returns to life in Where Winds Meet. Every strike pushes players to carve their own path and rise as a legend within the martial world.

The trailer blends Bruce Leung Siu-lung’s performance as Fire Cloud Evil seamlessly with in-game footage, creating a fluid combination of nostalgia and modern action. The highlight is the legendary Toad Style itself, a martial technique players can learn in the game. The footage also presents key gameplay elements such as respawning after defeat, player messages through Signpost, defeat screens, and learning the Toad Style by observing techniques in the environment.

Fans reacted enthusiastically to the collaboration, praising the surprise appearance of the legendary character from Kung Fu Hustle. Many expressed excitements at seeing the true Fire Cloud Evil reprise his role, while others admired how impressive the Toad Style looks in-game. Some even revisited the film after learning its connection to the game’s martial techniques, calling it a nostalgic return to their childhood.

Where Winds Meet takes players into a period of dramatic political change in ancient China, especially during the late Southern Tang era, a time marked by conflict and sorrow. Players assume the role of a skilled martial artist born into a chaotic era and face decisions that shape the fate of kingdoms. The game is planned for release on PC, iOS, Android, and PS5, with the PS5 version launching as a timed exclusive.

THIS IS OUR SAY

The return of Bruce Leung Siu-lung as Fire Cloud Evil gives Where Winds Meet a level of authenticity few games dare to attempt. Bringing the Toad Style straight from the big screen into the heart of the game is more than a nostalgic nod. It is a powerful blend of film legacy and modern gameplay that strengthens the title’s identity. This collaboration captures the essence of true martial arts storytelling, delivering a rare experience that fans will remember long after the trailer ends.
