The highly anticipated action game, Lost Soul Aside, has been delayed by three months, shifting its release from May 30 to August 29, 2025, as announced by its developer, Ultizero Games. Initially set to launch next month after nearly a decade in development, the PC and PlayStation 5 title will now see a later release to ensure a polished final product.
"We are truly grateful for the positive response we've received from players all over the world since we announced Lost Soul Aside," Ultizero Games stated. "We remain committed to delivering a high-quality game experience. To match the standards Ultizero Games have set for ourselves, we are going to take some additional time to polish the game. Lost Soul Aside will now release on August 29, 2025. We want to express our heartfelt thanks to our fans waiting for the launch."
Originally the passion project of solo developer Yang Bing, Lost Soul Aside has evolved into a major Sony-published title under the company's China Hero Project. Bing, now the founder and CEO of Shanghai-based studio Ultizero Games, has seen his vision grow from a solo endeavor to a highly anticipated release. In a recent interview with IGN, Yang Bing discussed the long journey to launch, highlighting the game's evolution from a viral reveal video in 2016 to a featured spot at Sony's State of Play broadcast. The excitement around Lost Soul Aside stems from its unique blend of Final Fantasy-inspired characters and Devil May Cry-style combat.
The game's protagonist, Kesar, wields a versatile, shape-shifting weapon that allows players to switch playstyles seamlessly. Accompanied by a dragon-like companion named Arena, who can summon abilities to aid Kesar, the game promises a dynamic combat experience. Lost Soul Aside emphasizes aerial dodging, precision timing, combos, and countering, all set within large-scale boss fights. The narrative takes players across multiple dimensions, blending sci-fi elements with contemporary aesthetics. While the trailers offer glimpses into the game's world, Yang Bing describes Kesar's journey as one of "redemption and discovery," hinting at a deep and engaging storyline.
