First announced eight years ago, a promising new action RPG could soon finally appear exclusively for consoles like the PS5. Better late than never ?
It’s been eight years since we heard about the premiere of Lost Soul Aside. Developed by Chinese studio UltiZero Games, the PS5 and PC title has proven increasingly promising since its re-emergence. He’s been back in the headlines recently and his release may finally be near.
The PS5 sets aside another console exclusivity
Chinese games definitely have a long history. In addition to the highly anticipated Black Myth: Wukong, which we’ve been hearing about for years, this also applies to Lost Soul Aside. This was first announced as a standalone project in 2016. Sony claimed exclusivity and the game was scheduled to release on PS4 in 2018. Six years later, the action RPG developed by UltiZero Games finally seems to be nearing the end of its development. In fact, it’s now releasing on both PS5 and PC instead.
We can definitely predict that since “Lost Soul Aside” has an age rating in China. The relevant authority has therefore given it the green light to release on PC and PS5 whenever it wants. According to expert analyst Daniel Ahmad, the launch would now be closer than ever, at least in his home country. “ At least for the next three months “, he believes. We can bet this will be the case for the rest of the world too.
A promising action RPG or a fake?
After years of development for the Chinese exclusive console PS5, Lost Soul Aside presented its gameplay last summer. We were able to watch the game in action for a good twenty minutes. The result seemed quite appealing. The UltiZero Games title definitely claimed some pretty prestigious influences. In fact, it’s hard not to see obvious connections to Devil May Cry in its gameplay and Final Fantasy in its art direction.
Will the action role-playing game be promising on paper and basically expected soon on PS5 and PC, but still carve out its own place in the video game landscape? Start of the reaction a priori in the next three months. It could well be that Lost Soul Aside will be seen during a PlayStation Showcase during Summer Game Fest in early June or during that period, which is suitable for strong announcements.
