May 30, 2025 is the release date for Lost Soul Aside, an action game often compared to Devil May Cry in its proposal and Final Fantasy XV for its protagonist who resembles Noctis. This marks the culmination of a decade-long journey for Yang Bin, a game programmer who began this project alone in his room before it was acquired by PlayStation through its Project Hero China program. Notably, despite starting as a solo endeavor, Lost Soul Aside surpasses many other games developed with teams of up to 50 people. While not intended as mockery, such titles emerging from nowhere should prompt questions about certain industry practices. Meanwhile, anticipation builds for the game’s quality, following the release of a newly published trailer during a recent State of Play event.
The release of Lost Soul Aside is scheduled for May 30, 2025, on PS5 and PC.
