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-published title under their "China Hero Project." Bing, now founder and CEO of Ultizero Games in Shanghai, shared insights into this extensive development process with IGN.
The game's evolution from a solo developer's vision to a Sony State of Play trailer reveal generated significant hype. Many compare Lost Soul Aside to a captivating blend of Final Fantasy characters and Devil May Cry's dynamic combat system, a comparison fueled by the viral success of Bing's initial 2016 reveal video.
With the assistance of a translator, IGN interviewed Yang Bing, delving into the game's origins, inspirations, and the numerous challenges the team overcame throughout its development.
