Lost Soul Aside Delayed 3 Months for Polish on PS5 and PC

The highly anticipated single-player action game, Lost Soul Aside, has faced a delay of three months, pushing its release from May 30 to August 29, 2025. Originally slated for launch next month after nearly a decade in development, developer Ultizero Games announced the shift to late August to further refine the game.

"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 title under Sony'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 widely recognized game. The journey of Lost Soul Aside has been marked by significant milestones, including a trailer reveal at Sony's State of Play broadcast, which has fueled excitement and anticipation among fans.

In a recent interview with IGN, Yang Bing discussed the extensive development process of Lost Soul Aside. The game has been described as a thrilling blend of Final Fantasy characters and Devil May Cry combat, a concept that captured widespread attention since Bing's initial reveal video went viral in 2016. The protagonist, Kesar, wields a versatile shape-shifting weapon that allows players to switch playstyles, complemented by a dragon-like companion named Arena, who can summon abilities to aid Kesar in battle.

Lost Soul Aside draws inspiration from its predecessors, emphasizing aerial dodging, precision timing, combos, and countering, all set against the backdrop of large-scale boss fights. The game's narrative weaves a sci-fi premise with contemporary aesthetics, taking players across multiple dimensions. While the trailers offer glimpses into the game's world, Bing describes Kesar's journey as one of "redemption and discovery," promising a deep and engaging storyline.
