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 in Shanghai.
IGN recently interviewed Yang Bing, discussing the game's evolution from a solo endeavor to a Sony State of Play reveal and its subsequent viral success. The game has drawn comparisons to Final Fantasy's character designs and Devil May Cry's combat system, a reaction evident even from Bing's initial 2016 trailer.
Through a translator, IGN explored the game's origins, inspirations, and the numerous challenges overcome during its extensive development. The interview delves into the creative process and the team's experiences in bringing this ambitious project to fruition.
