The producer of Ultizero Games’ action role-playing game, Lost Soul Aside, has explained the reason behind the game’s prolonged delay and has shared details on Sony Interactive Entertainment’s support during its development.
During a recent interview, Lost Soul Aside producer Yang Bing was asked about reason behind the game’s prolonged delay and lengthy development cycle. In response, he talked about beginning development as an individual and then received attention after the announcement, which led to many partners and friends teaming up with him on the project. He mentioned that his personal experience and capability were not sufficient to turn it into an actual game that could be released. According to him, a lot of time was spent on building the team, going through personal growth, and facing trial and error.
At that time, Bing and his team at Ultizero Games didn’t know much about game development, and they continued to make mistakes. There was a period of low morale, but the team gradually found its rhythm. After receiving further support and attention, the developer’s capability and experience improved, as did the development process. With the project finally coming to an end, he looks forward to what the team can deliver in the future.
Although the studio has made several changes to Lost Soul Aside’s throughout the course of its development, Bing said that the art assets and many things beyond the graphics that everyone saw and appreciated in the initial trailer have been retained. For example, the main story has been fleshed out and the combat remains fast-paced and fluid.
Regarding Sony Interactive Entertainment’s involvement, Bing mentioned that the development team has made optimizations according to the feedback from the publisher, including changes to enemies and their behavior. He added that several details are still in the process of being polished.
Lost Soul Aside is set for release on May 30, 2025, for PS5 and PC.
