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

Fans of the much-anticipated action game Lost Soul Aside will have to wait a bit longer, as its release has been pushed back from May 30 to August 29, 2025. Developer Ultizero Games made the announcement, citing the need for additional time to enhance the game's quality.

Originally slated for release next month after nearly a decade in development, the delay aims to ensure the game meets the high standards set by the studio. "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."

What began as the solo endeavor of Yang Bing has evolved into a significant project 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 viral reveal video in 2016 to a major title showcased at Sony's State of Play broadcasts. The excitement around Lost Soul Aside stems from its unique blend of Final Fantasy-esque characters and the fast-paced combat reminiscent of Devil May Cry.

In Lost Soul Aside, players control the protagonist Kesar, who uses a versatile, shape-shifting weapon to adapt his playstyle. Kesar is accompanied by a dragon-like companion named Arena, who enhances his abilities during battles. The gameplay emphasizes aerial dodging, precision timing, combos, and countering, set against the backdrop of epic boss fights. The narrative promises a journey of "redemption and discovery" across multiple dimensions, blending sci-fi elements with a contemporary aesthetic.

Recently, IGN had the chance to discuss the game's development journey with Yang Bing, highlighting the evolution from a solo project to a much-anticipated release. Despite the delay, the anticipation for Lost Soul Aside continues to build, promising an immersive and polished experience when it finally launches.
