Announced during the latest State of Play, the game will receive a physical edition for PlayStation 5, alongside a digital release.

Originally developed by a single person in 2014, Lost Soul Aside quickly gained attention after its 2016 prototype reveal, which drew comparisons to the aesthetic style of Final Fantasy Versus XIII (later Final Fantasy XV). Following its positive reception, Sony provided funding through the China Hero Project, allowing the game to expand significantly with a full development team.
Unlike the soulslike RPGs that have dominated recent years, Lost Soul Aside embraces fast, fluid combat, taking clear inspiration from the early gameplay trailers of Final Fantasy Versus XIII. The latest State of Play trailer showcased frenetic action, stunning visuals, and high-speed battles, reinforcing its place as one of the most anticipated RPGs of 2024.
With its May 30 release date, Lost Soul Aside will finally be in the hands of players who have followed its long development journey. The game is set to launch on PS5 and PC, offering an exhilarating hack-and-slash experience that blends stunning visuals with lightning-fast combat.
