The release date for Yan Bing’s game Lost Soul Aside is now confirmed for 2025 on PC and PS5. This was announced with significant fanfare in a new video, following a year and a half of silence about what the industry has dubbed the “Chinese Devil May Cry.” The game showcases an agility similar to Capcom’s beat ’em up titles but within a less gothic, more Chinese-themed universe. Initially announced as a single-person project by Yan Bing in 2017, Lost Soul Aside garnered attention from PlayStation and Tencent, who subsequently provided funding for the game. It is part of the China Hero Project initiative, and this recent announcement will likely silence critics who had previously labeled it vaporware.
