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 has blossomed into a significant Sony-published title under their "China Hero Project." Bing now leads Ultizero Games, the Shanghai-based studio behind the game.
From its humble beginnings as a solo developer's vision to its stunning reveal trailer at Sony's State of Play, Lost Soul Aside has garnered considerable attention. The game has been praised for its blend of Final Fantasy-esque characters and Devil May Cry-inspired combat, a combination evident even in Bing's viral 2016 reveal video.
IGN recently interviewed Yang Bing (with the aid of a translator) to delve into the game's creation, inspirations, and the numerous challenges overcome during its extensive development. The interview explored the game's origins, influences, and the team's experiences throughout the years.
