Lost Soul Aside: Exclusive Interview on PS5 and PC Single-Player Action Game

by Hannah May 02,2025

After nearly a decade of development, the much-anticipated game Lost Soul Aside is set to launch on May 30, available on PlayStation 5 and PC. What began as the ambitious solo project of Yang Bing has evolved into a significant title under Sony's 'China Hero Project.' Bing, who now leads as the founder and CEO of Shanghai-based studio Ultizero Games, has seen his vision grow from a one-person endeavor to a highly anticipated release.

In anticipation of the launch, IGN had the privilege of interviewing Yang Bing to delve into the game's journey from inception to its upcoming release. The single-player action game, which blends the charm of Final Fantasy characters with the dynamic combat style of Devil May Cry, captured the gaming community's attention when Yang Bing's initial reveal video went viral back in 2016. Since then, the hype has only escalated, especially after the game was showcased in Sony's State of Play.

With the assistance of a translator, IGN explored the early origins of Lost Soul Aside, its creative inspirations, and the myriad challenges faced by the team throughout the years. This in-depth conversation sheds light on the dedication and passion that have fueled this project's remarkable evolution.
