The highly anticipated action game Lost Soul Aside has officially announced its release date, set for May 30, 2025, on PlayStation 5 and PC. This announcement came during Sony’s State of Play 2025 stream, where a new gameplay and story trailer was also revealed.
Initially conceived as a solo project by developer Yang Bing, Lost Soul Aside has evolved with support from PlayStation’s China Hero Project, which aims to bolster Chinese game development. The game draws clear inspiration from the Devil May Cry series and other action titles, including PlatinumGames productions and Final Fantasy XV.
Gameplay Features
Players will control the main character, Kesar, who wields a versatile shape-shifting weapon. This weapon allows for varied playstyles, enhancing combat dynamics. Additionally, Kesar is accompanied by a dragon-like ally named Arena, who can summon abilities to assist during battles.
Lost Soul Aside emphasizes aerial dodging, precise timing, and combo execution, akin to its genre predecessors. The game promises large-scale boss encounters and a campaign that traverses multiple dimensions, blending sci-fi elements with contemporary aesthetics.
