Update []:
And as expected, Lost Soul Aside developer Ultizero Games has confirmed the game’s physical edition. It’s available to pre-order now, ahead of release on 30th May.
Original Story: Character action title Lost Soul Aside has been one of the most anticipated PlayStation games for close to a decade, so it’d be desperately disappointing if it didn’t get a physical release.
Fortunately, after initial confusion over whether it’d be available digitally only or not, trusted tipster billbil-kun has effectively confirmed that the title will be shipping on Blu-ray in both Europe and North America.
Pre-orders for the physical version will open on 19th February, alongside the previously revealed digital editions.
For those not keeping track, there’ll be two options digitally: the Standard Edition ($59.99/£59.99) and Digital Deluxe Edition ($69.99/£69.99). The latter will come with Arena’s exclusive golden outfit, three unique weapon fragment skins, two in-game accessories, a Digital Soundtrack and a Digital Artbook.
All pre-orders will come with an additional outfit based on the original reveal of the game, as well as a bunch of in-game currency and a bundle of potions to help get you started.
Will you be buying Lost Soul Aside digitally or physically? Let us know in the comments section below.

You’d think they’d give a release date if they’re allowing preorders. These days that usually means a game is coming “soon,” doesn’t it? We’re long gone from the era when you could preorder years (or even generations in the case of my Last Guardian preorder) ahead of time.
You could just say "physical", I don't think anyone in all of history has referred to a PlayStation game as a "Blu-Ray release".
Seems like Sony really believes in this title. Let’s hope it’s a good one! Great to see Sony looking for gaming talent in China.
@somnambulance May 30th per the PS Store
I don’t know about “most anticipated PS Games in about a decade” but I’ll be keeping an eye on reviews, any game that gets Sony’s financial backing (bar Concord) is worth a look!
@somnambulance Didn’t it already get a release date at the SoP?
Edit: Never mind, it was already answered 😉
Alright alright alright…
It's great there's going to be a physical release. Hopefully they'll have the option for disc owners to upgrade to the deluxe version too.
Still think the guy looks like Noctis from FFXV.
Now all I need is a disc drive for my Pro…
@DarkTron Thank you for saying this. I was honestly confused when I read the headline. On a related note - the game looks cool. I’ll buy it digitally, but I’m happy for those who prefer physical media.
Awesome! Day one buy for me then! Good on them for not making a big mistake. If there’s a market, tap it.
We've barely seen anything of this game and the highly edited chopped up gameplay clips were really not that impressive. I feel like it's only the Playstation centric gaming media outlets hyping this game up like it's some highly anticipated major release.
For me it's always just looked like a low budget jarpg clone.
@LogicStrikesAgain @ButterySmooth30FPS How did I not notice that? My bad! Looking forward to reviews on this one, so I can make up my mind on it. The price isn’t so bad. It reminds me of FF15…
Oh, it will get a Blu-ray release? I'm disappointed, I wanted to purchase it for PS5 on cartridge...
Call me up when they offer a steelbook.
@Foxhound I was hoping for the 8-track version, myself!
That's good to hear. Game looks like a winner so far.
As it should be by default.
“Lost Soul Aside Tide of Annihilation” is just 1 game and title in my head. 🤣
Jack Rosfield looks great on the cover!
Very happy about this! Day one 😊
@Foxhound I’m disappointed, cause i thought a movie version was releasing 🍿🎥
Thank god it is not on vinyl 🤣
@DonJorginho
I've never even heard of the title, but maybe it is in the top 2000 of anticipated games this decade.
@DarkTron I was a little confused by that as well. Most people probably don't care or are unaware that game discs are a form of BluRay, and as a fan of physical myself, a BluRay is a disc with a film on it, and for a moment I thought that is what was meant.
Worth it for some of the sarcastic comments though.
I don’t think I’ve seen much about this game, not sure id call it highly anticipated. It’s not more anticipated as GTA6 or the next Elder Scrolls. Seems to be more hype around Expedition 33 even.
I hadn't heard of it until last week! It did pique my interest though. Although I need a new TV so I shan't be going around throwing money at new computer games for a while. Plus, you know, backlog...
@rjejr honestly it kinda fits so I can see that being a thing
I'll be getting the physical copy for sure.
"Character action title Lost Soul Aside has been one of the most anticipated PlayStation games for close to a decade"
What??? 😂
@somnambulance ff15 is actually one of the games they took inspiration from.
@KundaliniRising333 there's actually a lot of gameplay footage for this games.
@DarkTron
Agreed. At first glance I thought there was going to be a movie of the game or suchlike.
It's on Steam as well. Depending on the reviews... sleigh Avowed holds more interest for me
What about a DVD release?
Sweet will grab a physical copy as long as it reviews well!
I hope Tides of Annihilation gets a disc! Tempted to import the AI Limit disc too..
Only a physical release now? What changed? I was hoping for a blu ray release 😢
Haha 😉
Wow, I love that is says console exclusive when it is day one on PC as well. I hope people know that playstation is also 3rd party and that is fine and I am happy about that as I am a gamer first before a cry baby console war person. Have fun with your 3rd party exclusive LMAO
@DrkNight365 Everybody here knows what "console exclusive" means... you don't?
And why are you the only one "crying" in this comment section 😂 the thick waft of irony is burning my nostrils and stinging my eyes. Nobody is this highly regarded - there's no way this isn't bait.
Never heard of this until I saw this article.
Added to me Steam Wishlist - looks pretty fun!
This game looks so great. This, along with Tides of Annihilation, Ghost of Yotei, and GTA VI are gonna make this year great (on PS5 anyway).
I'm definitely interested in this game but as someone who only buys physical media & keeps both PS4/PS5 completely offline i am happy with a version 1.0 disc release 🙂.
Just a FYI: Physical media can be played completely offline without an internet connection, thought i add this because i should know due to the fact i keep both my consoles offline & only play single player games, not any disc games tied to a live service "Gran Turismo 7". Please don't lecturer me on physical media works.
