After nearly eight years in development, the highly anticipated Chinese action game Lost Soul Aside has finally revealed its stunning gameplay in a new trailer, alongside confirmation of a 2025 release date. What started as a one-person passion project has evolved into one of the most promising titles from China’s growing gaming industry.

A Striking Combat System

The latest footage showcases the game’s flashy combat system, which draws clear inspiration from action-gaming giants. Think Devil May Cry’s stylish combo system meets Final Fantasy XV’s visual flair. Players can expect fluid animations, supernatural abilities, and intense battles against imposing monsters.

From Solo Dream to Professional Production

Ultizero Games’ journey with Lost Soul Aside is remarkable. What began in 2016 as a solo developer’s ambitious project has transformed into a full-fledged production backed by Sony’s PlayStation China Hero Project initiative. This support has helped enhance the game’s production values while maintaining its unique creative vision.

Platform Details

While Lost Soul Aside will launch on PlayStation 5, PC gamers haven’t been forgotten. The game will release simultaneously on both platforms, though PC players should note they’ll need a PlayStation Network account to play. Interested players can already add the title to their wishlists on their preferred platform.

The blend of eastern and western gaming influences, combined with its impressive visual style, positions Lost Soul Aside as one of 2025’s most intriguing action game releases. For fans of character action games or those interested in China’s emerging game development scene, this is definitely one to watch.
