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's now a major Sony title under their "China Hero Project," with Bing leading Ultizero Games, the Shanghai-based studio behind it.
This ambitious title, which garnered significant attention after its 2016 viral trailer, has been described as a captivating blend of Final Fantasy-esque characters and Devil May Cry-style combat. IGN recently interviewed Yang Bing (with the aid of a translator) to delve into the game's extensive development history, its creative inspirations, and the numerous challenges overcome along the way. The discussion covered the project's origins, its evolution from a solo endeavor to a fully-fledged Sony publication, and the immense hype surrounding its impending release.
