This 2025 Wuxia RPG Will Include A PS5 Feature Missing From Black Myth: Wukong
With so many RPGs coming out in 2025, it's easy to miss Where Winds Meet, an upcoming Wuxia-style martial arts action RPG with fast-paced combat similar to Black Myth: Wukong or Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Unlike Black Myth: Wukong, however, Where Winds Meet will feature PlayStation 5 optimization and incorporate DualSense technology, a feature that the former game desperately needs. DualSense technology adds a layer of immersion that any and all combat on the PS5 could benefit from, but it could especially help games with dynamic combat mechanics that would be enhanced with better vibration functions and haptic feedback.
These DualSense features will supposedly be a core part of Where Winds Meet and could help to make it a stand-out game in the RPG genre in 2025, though there is some stiff competition. DualSense haptic feedback and adaptive triggers can be properly incorporated into combat and exploration games to give players an overall improved experience. It's unclear if Black Myth: Wukong has any plans to release a much-needed PS5 optimization patch, but reported performance issues on the console and lackluster DualSense features should incentivize developers to put it on their radar.
Where Winds Meet Will Feature DualSense Optimization
The 2025 Wuxia RPG Is Optimized For PlayStation 5
Where Winds Meet is an open world Wuxia-inspired action RPG with martial arts combat that looks similar in style to Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Black Myth: Wukong, and Ghost of Tsushima, with fast-paced boss fights and intricate dodge/parrying mechanics. Excitingly, a PlayStation Blogpost announced that Where Winds Meet will be optimized for PlayStation 5 and the DualSense controller. DualSense technology, specifically the adaptive trigger technology, would add an entirely new layer of immersion if properly implemented. Consider how Returnal's DualSense functionality would feel when applied to a martial arts encounter.
Hopefully, Where Winds Meet will deliver on its promise and truly optimize the game for DualSense, which involves much more than simply adding a vibration setting when clashing swords or changing the glow color when day turns to night, etc. Proper utilization of DualSense technology is dynamic and feels noticeably different than an average controller, and it is extremely popular when implemented successfully, regardless of the genre (see Astro Bot's GOTY win). Where Winds Meet has an opportunity to stand out against the competition this year if it can incorporate the PlayStation 5 DualSense's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers effectively.
Why Black Myth: Wukong Needs PS5 Optimization And DualSense Functionality
Haptic Feedback & Adaptive Triggers Would Improve Black Myth: Wukong On PS5
While Black Myth: Wukong's GOTY nomination in 2024 was well-deserved, the game suffers from performance issues on PS5, as detailed on PlayStation Lifestyle, due to not being fully optimized for the console. Further, it includes a very basic level of vibration and controller audio through the DualSense, but this does not extend beyond what is possible with any other controller type.
Black Myth: Wukong's intense, unforgiving boss-rush martial arts combat style is perfect for full optimization of adaptive trigger technology. The various stances with unique moves, as well as the range of skills and transformations, are all ripe for unique vibration, haptic feedback, and trigger settings.
Ultimately,Black Myth: Wukong developer GameScience should consider how the DualSense functionality could completely revolutionize gameplay and give players a more immersive experience. When considering the range of applications for adaptive trigger technology as well as the possibilities for including haptic feedback throughout all the diverse environments, DualSense optimization seems like an obvious addition. The game will likely be given a PS5 Pro upgrade, and it needs a PS5 performance update regardless of DualSense changes. This would give developers an opportunity to overhaul the player experience of Black Myth: Wukongon the PlayStation 5 and include DualSense optimization.
