Remember that awesome Devil May Cry-esque indie title that blew up on YouTube earlier in the year? Looks like Sony's snapped it up, as one-man maker noted on Twitter that he's "got support" from the platform holder and will be working on Lost Soul Aside with "some other devs". As a result, the release will be a timed exclusive for the PS4, with a tentative 2018 deploy date.
For those of you who somehow missed this story earlier in the year, a short trailer showcasing the game was posted to YouTube, and after being shared around forums like NeoGAF, it swiftly exploded. The Unreal Engine 4 tech demo currently has over two million views, which is a figure even major publishers would be happy with. It's deserved, too, as it looks totally rad.

It's it so hard to mention the game's called Last Soul Aside and is being made Yang Bing?
Also great job Sony
I can't believe I haven't seen this before! And it's made by one guy? Amazing ...I have seen a few fan projects that look totally sick, but a full game? UE4 is truly something else! Hope to see many more realize their dreams ...Even I am tempted to try out the engine now!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!! The game was inspired by Final Fantasy XV I believe. This is a massive coup for Sony. I'm beyond hyped for this. Them particle effects 0.0
EDIT: Just checked his twitter and I'm surprised at how openly he's discussing the game and the timed exclusivity deal. Sony better send him a PR manager if they want to avoid a Murray/NMS disaster
I have to admit, I absolutely hated Unreal Engine 3, but Unreal Engine 4 is SO good.
what the hell is this...
how did he do this ???
it's the best hack&slash in the 8-gen...
Timed exclusive. :/ Here I thought Sony just bought them out.
@NomNom Clearly helping him get it finished.
Oh god. I hope this wont be another No Mans Sky.
How did I miss this...
Need more Bayonetta/DMC styled games. Can't just be the occasional Capcom or Platinum release anymore.
Some of it looks a little ropey but I guess its still early on. Dude definitely looks like he's had some rubbish plastic surgery.
I had almost forgotten about this.
Still hate the title. Sony did good
So one guy did all this? That's amazing! The protagonist does look a whole lot like Noctis, though. He even has that warp skill.
Yes, but what do you actually DO in the game???
Totally rad?
Is that good? ☺️
This looks phenomenal. Not even kidding, it looks to good to be real. I really hope this can be a success.
Looks good - there's a reason game developers work in big teams though, hope he hasn't bitten off more than he can chew
@kyleforrester87 well it does say he's going to be working with some other devs
Looks good so far amazing job for 1 guy
Looks very nice! Does the guy look like a slightly less subtly asian Noctis?
This one has hidden gem written all over it
