PlayStation-published Lost Soul Aside might finally be coming out soon

Starting development all the way back in 2016 as a one-man project, Lost Soul Aside has been eagerly anticipated by many thanks to its Final Fantasy Versus XIII (later FFXV) inspired visuals and flashy action combat. Over the years, the game’s ambitions grew, and so did the team, sitting at around 40 developers today. Though we still have no release window all these years later, a new rating coming from the dev’s home country might indicate an impending release.

Being developed by the Chinese game studio Ultizero Games, Lost Soul Aside is a part of Sony’s China Hero Project – an effort to fund unique games from Chinese studios. As part of this, PlayStation will also be publishing Lost Soul Aside, with the announcement made back in late 2022.

Since then, we have seen more footage of Lost Soul Aside during 2023’s ChinaJoy event, though still no release date in sight.

As stated by the official Lost Soul Aside Twitter page however, the game has now “got an ISBN license approval to release in China” – an equivalent to the likes of the ESRB or PEGI organisations.

Further explained by industry analyst Daniel Ahmad “This means the game has been reviewed and can officially launch in mainland China. In other words, there will be news for the launch of the game fairly soon (At least within the next 3 months or so, typically.)”

After waiting almost a decade for Lost Soul Aside, fans of the game might finally get their hands on the title later this year – hopefully.
