After a remarkable journey spanning nearly a decade, Lost Soul Aside is poised for its much-anticipated release. What began as a solo endeavor by the passionate developer Yang Bing has evolved into a significant title under Sony's 'China Hero Project.' Bing, now at the helm of Shanghai's Ultizero Games as its founder and CEO, has seen his vision grow from a personal project to a widely recognized game.
Scheduled for launch on May 30 on PlayStation 5 and PC, the excitement around Lost Soul Aside continues to build. IGN recently had the privilege of interviewing Yang Bing to delve into the lengthy development process of this single-player action game. From its humble beginnings to its showcase at Sony's State of Play, the game's hype has been palpable. Many fans and critics have likened Lost Soul Aside to a thrilling fusion of Final Fantasy's iconic characters with the high-octane combat of Devil May Cry, a sentiment that has been evident since Bing's initial reveal video went viral back in 2016.
With the assistance of a translator, IGN explored the early inspirations behind Lost Soul Aside, the challenges faced by the development team over the years, and much more. This deep dive into the game's origins and evolution not only highlights Bing's dedication but also showcases the collaborative effort that has brought this ambitious project to fruition.
