Lost Soul Aside has confirmed a new release date of August 29, pushing the game back from its original release date of May 30. Developed by Ultizero Games, Lost Soul Aside is an action-adventure title currently in the works for the PS5 and PC.

Powered by Sony's incubator program, the China Hero Project, Lost Soul Aside is one of those projects that has been brewing for quite some time.

After PlayStation took the game under its wing, Lost Soul Aside was eventually announced to be hitting shelves in May 2025. In the build up to that, Ultizero Games also shared Lost Soul Aside's PC specifications in February, further stirring fan excitement. But, despite everything, it has now been confirmed that the fantasy game's launch date has been pushed into the future by a few more months.

August 29, 2025

Interestingly, fans seem to have taken kindly to Lost Soul Aside's release getting delayed, judging by the replies to the announcement on Twitter. While some urged Ultizero Games to take the time to meet its desired quality standards, others expressed relief at the Final Fantasy-inspired game skipping a stacked release window, which falls close to the launch date of other highly anticipated games such as Elden Ring Nightreign and Mario Kart World.

Ever since the phenomenal launch of Black Myth: Wukong in 2024, the expectations surrounding AAA projects coming out of China have experienced a multifold increase. As a consequence, Lost Soul Aside also has a considerable amount of hype around it, which has only been amplified by the trailers and other information released till now. However, whether Ultizero's action-heavy game, which has been in development for a decade, leaves a lasting impression on fans or not is something only time will tell.
