Lost Soul Aside has gone gold and will be released on August 29, 2025, for PS5 and PC.
The game started as a solo project by Yang Bing and evolved into a 40-man studio effort with support from Sony's China Hero Project.
Lost Soul Aside is heavily inspired by Final Fantasy in terms of character design and draws action influences from games like Bayonetta, Ninja Gaiden, and Devil May Cry.
Pre-purchases are available for the Standard Edition ($59.99) and Digital Deluxe Edition ($69.99).
Lost Soul Aside's journey began in 2016 when a demo video by Chinese developer Yang Bing went viral, catching the attention of Sony. This led to the game becoming part of Sony's China Hero Project, which supports indie Chinese developers with resources like quality control, audio, code reviews, and marketing.
The game's character design is heavily influenced by Final Fantasy, with Yang Bing citing it as his favorite series. The action elements draw inspiration from Bayonetta, Ninja Gaiden, and Devil May Cry, promising a fast-paced combat experience. Players can expect weapon swapping, dodging, parrying, a magic dragon companion called Arena, and a skill tree to unlock new combos and skills. The game seems to focus on optimized combat that may be faster than Wuchang: Fallen Feathers or even Stellar Blade.
