Lost Soul Aside, a single-player action game, is finally launching on May 30th for PlayStation 5 and PC after a decade-long development journey. Initially a solo project by Yang Bing, it's now a major Sony-published title under their "China Hero Project." Bing, now the founder and CEO of Ultizero Games in Shanghai, shared insights into the game's development with IGN.
The game's evolution from a solo developer's vision to a Sony State of Play reveal has generated significant buzz. Many compare Lost Soul Aside to a captivating blend of Final Fantasy aesthetics and Devil May Cry's dynamic combat system, a comparison fueled by the viral success of Bing's initial 2016 reveal video.
Through an interpreter, IGN interviewed Yang Bing, exploring the origins of Lost Soul Aside, its creative inspirations, the numerous development challenges overcome, and much more.
