Lost Soul Aside PS5

There's a reason why Lost Soul Aside has become one of the most talked-about and reported-on indie titles of the past decade: Sony has been there pretty much every step of the way supporting the one-man team Yang Bing. Detailed in a new interview with IGN, the developer speaks of how they've had the backing of Sony from essentially day one, as far back as 2016.

Bing reveals he had a contact within PlayStation at the time, who contacted him about the action project and a potential collaboration when the game's original viral announcement was published. This partnership truly began when Bing returned to Shanghai, China at the end of 2016, where an agreement was made with Sony that it would back the title in some form.

In more recent years, this partnership became more substantial, especially with the introduction of the China Hero Project, which sees Sony offer support and guidance to indie projects it likes of the look of in the country. There's also an India Hero Project for that nation also. Then, the collaboration between the two parties became so strong that Sony will now be the publisher of Lost Soul Aside on PS5 and PC.

Other games to release as a result of the China Hero Project have been F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow Torch and ANNO: Mutationem, so there's definitely some pedigree attached to the brand now. Lost Soul Aside, however, has been hotly anticipated for years now — there's quite a bit more excitement backing it than other projects. The game launches for PS5 and PC on 30th May 2025.
