Lost Soul Aside: PS5 and PC Release Delayed 3 Months for Polish

Lost Soul Aside, the highly anticipated single-player action game for PC and PlayStation 5, has been delayed from its original release date of May 30, 2025, to August 29, 2025. Developer Ultizero Games made the announcement, citing the need for additional time to polish the game to meet their high standards.

"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 brainchild of solo developer Yang Bing, Lost Soul Aside has evolved into a significant title under Sony's China Hero Project. Bing, now the founder and CEO of Shanghai-based studio Ultizero Games, has seen his passion project grow from a viral reveal video in 2016 to a major game featured in Sony's State of Play broadcast.

In a recent interview with IGN, Yang Bing discussed the extensive development journey of Lost Soul Aside. The game has garnered significant excitement, often described as a thrilling blend of Final Fantasy characters and Devil May Cry combat.

The protagonist, Kesar, wields a versatile, shape-shifting weapon that allows players to switch playstyles. Accompanied by a dragon-like ally named Arena, who can summon supportive abilities, Kesar navigates a world filled with aerial dodging, precision timing, combos, and countering, culminating in epic boss battles. The game's narrative, described by Bing as a journey of "redemption and discovery," unfolds across multiple dimensions, blending sci-fi elements with contemporary aesthetics, though the full story remains somewhat elusive based on the trailers released so far.
