After nearly a decade in development, Lost Soul Aside is finally poised for launch. Initially the brainchild of solo developer Yang Bing, this ambitious project has blossomed into a major Sony-published title under their "China Hero Project." Bing now leads the Shanghai-based studio Ultizero Games as its founder and CEO.
With a May 30th release date on PlayStation 5 and PC fast approaching, IGN recently spoke with Yang Bing to reflect on the long journey to launch. Years of dedicated development have shaped this single-player action game, evolving from a solo creator's vision to a stunning trailer reveal at Sony's State of Play. The hype has steadily built, with many hailing Lost Soul Aside as a thrilling fusion of Final Fantasy-esque characters and the dynamic combat of Devil May Cry – a comparison that resonated even from the viral impact of Bing's initial reveal video in 2016.
Aided by a translator, IGN delved into the origins of Lost Soul Aside, exploring its inspirations, the challenges faced by the team throughout development, and much more.
