PS5 and PC Single-Player Action Game Lost Soul Aside: The Big Interview

by Aaliyah Mar 15,2025

After nearly a decade in development, Lost Soul Aside is finally poised for launch. Initially the brainchild of solo developer Yang Bing, the game has blossomed into a major Sony-published title under the company's "China Hero Project." Bing is now the founder and CEO of Shanghai-based studio Ultizero Games.

With a May 30th release date on PlayStation 5 and PC fast approaching, IGN recently spoke with Yang Bing to discuss the long and winding road to launch. Years of development went into this single-player action game, a journey that began with a solo creator's vision and culminated in a trailer reveal at Sony's State of Play. The hype has steadily grown, with many hailing Lost Soul Aside as an exciting fusion of Final Fantasy characters and Devil May Cry combat—a sentiment that emerged even after Yang Bing's initial reveal video went viral in 2016.

Aided by a translator, IGN interviewed Yang Bing about the early genesis of Lost Soul Aside, its inspirations, the challenges the team overcame, and more.
