"Lost Soul Aside Delay: 3 Months for Enhanced Polish on PS5 and PC"

The highly anticipated single-player action game, Lost Soul Aside, initially set to launch on May 30, 2025, has been postponed to August 29, 2025, as announced by its developer, Ultizero Games. After a decade in development, the game, which will be available on PC and PlayStation 5, was nearing its release when the decision to delay was made to ensure a polished final product.

In their statement, Ultizero Games expressed gratitude for the global support they've received since the game's announcement. "We are truly grateful for the positive response we've received from players all over the world since we announced Lost Soul Aside," they stated. The team is dedicated to meeting the high standards they've set for themselves, necessitating additional time to refine the game. "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 a passion project of solo developer Yang Bing, Lost Soul Aside has evolved into a major title under Sony's China Hero Project. Bing, now the founder and CEO of the Shanghai-based studio Ultizero Games, has seen his vision grow significantly. The game was first showcased at Sony's State of Play broadcast, sparking excitement and anticipation among fans.

IGN recently had the chance to discuss the game's long development journey with Yang Bing. Since the initial reveal video went viral in 2016, Lost Soul Aside has been described as a thrilling blend of Final Fantasy characters and Devil May Cry combat. The game's protagonist, Kesar, utilizes a versatile shape-shifting weapon that allows players to switch playstyles. Additionally, Kesar is accompanied by a dragon-like companion named Arena, who can summon abilities to assist in battle.

Drawing inspiration from its predecessors, Lost Soul Aside focuses on aerial dodging, precision timing, combos, and countering, all within the context of large-scale boss fights. The game's narrative is set in a sci-fi world that spans multiple dimensions, blending various contemporary aesthetics. While the trailers offer glimpses into the game's world, Yang Bing describes Kesar's journey as one of "redemption and discovery," promising a deep and engaging storyline.
