The highly anticipated action RPG, Lost Soul Aside, finally has a release window after a long wait. Initially revealed in 2016 as part of PlayStation’s China Hero Project, the game from developer Ultizero Games has seen gradual development updates but remained without a concrete launch timeframe. Now, nearly a decade later, that’s changed.
A recent trailer concluded with the exciting announcement of a 2025 release window for Lost Soul Aside. The game is slated for release on both PS5 and PC platforms. While a specific date within 2025 is yet to be revealed, dedicated store pages have appeared on the PlayStation Store and Steam, allowing eager fans to add the game to their wishlists.
The game’s official description promises an epic journey: “Embark on an epic odyssey to save your sister and the whole of humankind from dimensional invaders in Lost Soul Aside – a stylish single-player action-adventure RPG. Chain lightning-fast combos, learn new abilities, and upgrade your weapons as you take on formidable enemies and colossal bosses in fast, dynamic combat.”
The anticipation surrounding Lost Soul Aside is amplified by the recent success of other titles from eastern developers. Games like Stellar Blade and Black Myth: Wukong garnered considerable attention and acclaim in 2024. Wukong, in particular, proved to be a major hit both commercially and critically. This raises hopes that Lost Soul Aside, if it delivers on its promise, could achieve similar success upon release.
Lost Soul Aside joins a growing roster of PS5 exclusives planned for 2025. Titles already announced include Ghost of Yotei and Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, with highly anticipated games like Marvel’s Wolverine and Fairgames also in development. While further announcements from PlayStation are always possible, Lost Soul Aside is likely to receive increased attention from the publisher in the coming months.
