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

The highly anticipated single-player action game Lost Soul Aside has been delayed by three months, moving its release date from May 30 to August 29, 2025. Developer Ultizero Games made the announcement after nearly a decade of development, just as the game was gearing up for its initial launch next month. The decision to postpone until late August was made to allow additional time for polishing the game to meet 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."

Originally the brainchild of solo developer Yang Bing, Lost Soul Aside has evolved into a major title published by Sony under its China Hero Project. Bing, now the founder and CEO of the Shanghai-based studio Ultizero Games, has seen his project grow from a solo endeavor to a highly anticipated release. In a recent interview with IGN, Bing discussed the extensive development journey, from his initial viral reveal video in 2016 to a showcase at Sony's State of Play. The game has been lauded for its unique blend of Final Fantasy-inspired characters and Devil May Cry-style combat.

In Lost Soul Aside, players control the main character, Kesar, who wields a versatile shape-shifting weapon that allows for different playstyles. Kesar is accompanied by a dragon-like companion named Arena, who can summon abilities to aid in combat. The game emphasizes aerial dodging, precision timing, combos, and countering, culminating in epic boss fights. Set against a sci-fi backdrop, Lost Soul Aside incorporates various contemporary aesthetics as players journey through multiple dimensions. While the trailers offer glimpses into the narrative, Bing describes Kesar's journey as one of "redemption and discovery."
