Lost Soul Aside Launches May 30th on PlayStation 5 and PC

The long awaited China Hero Project game Lost Soul Aside is officially launching on May 30th, 2025, for PlayStation 5 and PC.

Along with the announcement came the news that Lost Soul Aside is now up for pre-order, and comes in both a standard and deluxe edition.

Here is the official overview provided by the creator Yang Bing as seen over at the PlayStation Blog

A world that lives and breathes

Creating the world of Lost Soul Aside was like painting with imagination on a sci-fi fantasy canvas. You’ll traverse landscapes that feel alive: sunlit plains, mysterious ancient ruins, and alternate dimensions that buzz with energy. This world isn’t just eye candy—it’s filled with secrets, monsters, and unpredictable events that keep you interested.

But let’s talk about what really defines the experience—combat.

Combat that packs a punch

My goal was simple: make combat so fluid, fast, and stylish that you never want to put the controller down. Kaser’s shape-shifting weapon adapts to your combat style. Are you a precise swordsman? A fan of devastating ranged attacks? Maybe you like high-speed mobility? Whatever your preference, the different type of weapons will serve you well.

One standout moment during development was designing the boss battles. The fight with a towering dragon remains one of my personal favorites. It challenges you to juggle aerial dodges, perfectly timed counters, and relentless strikes. Not to mention, it’s a visual feast that feels like being part of your own epic action movie.

Beneath the flashy moves, there’s depth for players who love to experiment. You can customize loadouts, chain synergistic combos, and strategize with Arena, Kaser’s dragon-like companion. His abilities aren’t just support—they’re game-changers, turning tough battles in your favor when used wisely.

From moment-to-moment clashes with enemies to massive set-piece battles, combat in Lost Soul Aside is designed to keep you on the edge of your seat, pushing your skills to the limit while rewarding creativity and precision.

A story close to my heart

While combat takes center stage, Lost Soul Aside also weaves in a narrative about Kaser’s journey of redemption and discovery. As he uncovers the truth about Arena and their shared power, players will encounter a mix of personal challenges and high-stakes conflicts. The story focuses on creating memorable moments and connections, offering surprises without overwhelming the gameplay experience. And yes, there’s plenty of drama, because who doesn’t love a good gasp-worthy moment?

Made for PlayStation

Lost Soul Aside was built with PlayStation in mind, and I’m thrilled about the enhancements we’ve implemented:

• Lightning-fast load times: With the PS5 SSD, you’ll transition seamlessly between exploration and combat.

• DualSense controller magic: Feel the tension of every blade swing with adaptive triggers and haptic feedback.

• 4K eye candy: The world comes alive in stunning detail with dynamic lighting and meticulously crafted environments.
