After over a decade in development, Lost Soul Aside has reemerged with an impressive new 7-minute gameplay video, showcasing its refined combat, sleek visuals, and evolving RPG mechanics. The footage, shared as part of a hands-on preview by Chinese outlet A9VG, offers the most detailed look yet at the highly anticipated action RPG from Ultizero Games.

Hack'n slash at its best

The gameplay highlights the fluid, fast-paced combat system that has drawn comparisons to Devil May Cry and Final Fantasy XV. Players take control of Kazer, a nimble warrior capable of chaining together acrobatic combos, executing precise dodges, and parrying enemy attacks with impeccable timing. In Lost Soul Aside, you can switch your weapons seamlessly mid-battle, which allows you to adapt your strategy in real-time with weapons that each offer distinct powers and effects. Kazer is joined by Arena, a dragon-like companion who plays a key role in battle. Arena provides support by shielding, healing, and triggering powerful "Fusion Gauge" abilities when the meter fills. As players progress, Arena evolves, unlocking new skills that deepen the combat system and add layers of tactical variety.

Customization also plays a major role in Lost Soul Aside. Players collect "weapon fragments" throughout their journey, which can be used to alter the visual design and performance of their weapons. These fragments can enhance offensive stats, improve healing, speed up dodges, or boost Arena's defensive capabilities, offering flexibility for different playstyles.

Graphically, the game is a standout. Built on Unreal Engine 4, the latest build supports ray tracing for more realistic lighting and reflections. It also features DLSS 4 support, promising improved performance for PC players, though full details on multi-frame generation remain unconfirmed.

While the new footage focuses heavily on combat, fans are eager to see more of the game’s story, exploration, and boss encounters. The foundations are clearly strong, Lost Soul Aside now stands as one of the most promising upcoming entries in the genre. Originally slated for release on May 30, 2025, the game has been delayed slightly to August 29, 2025, as the developers work to polish the experience. When it arrives, Lost Soul Aside will launch on both PlayStation 5 and Windows PC. As usual, you can use our comparator to find the best offers for Lost Soul Aside on your platform of choice.
