We thought that expecting Lost Soul Aside to crop up during this week's ChinaJoy press conference would be a fairly safe assumption, but as it turns out, IGN has the exclusive reveal two days ahead of time. We've got a whole 17 minutes of gameplay footage to digest, featuring both cutscenes and combat. The Devil May Cry-inspired title from developer UltiZero Games certainly looks the part too with a ton of flashy brawls and abilities on show.
What really caught our eye, however, was the traversal. The main character is equipped with special powers that allow him to glide through the air with a set of wings, a weird-looking skateboard, and even a sort of gooey grappling hook. It remains to be seen whether you can use these abilities as and when you like outside of set pieces, but it all looks pretty cool nonetheless. Footage concludes with an epic boss fight and an interesting cutscene that hints at what's to come.
This one is seemingly still slated for just PlayStation 4 as of right now, but maybe that changes in a few days time. We wouldn't say no to a release date either. Do you like the look of Lost Soul Aside? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Hope we get an Release date in 2 days and the confirmation of a native PS5 Version (Trailer was running on a PS5 but it did look too good/smooth for a PS4 BC Version Imho)
How is this a PS4 game? O_O
Can't wait for this to finally release
Expected this to be a ps5 game! Very cool looking game.
@Voltan Bear in mind that 8-year-old machine gave us DMCV and FFXV - the former at 60fps and the latter with an unlocked frame rate. This sort of looks on par with those (although it's only 30fps) so entirely possible!
@Voltan. Because ps4 is a extremely powerful machine.i dont know why you surprised.im not.dmc 5.final fantasy 7 remake etc looks amazing on the ps4 pro.so what you saying.word up son
@JB_Whiting. I know right.and this game was announced for ps4 a long time ago.ps4 is a extremely powerful machines so i don't know why is he surprised.word up son
Yo! This looks awesome!
Giving me FF x DMC vibes here. Looks fun!
Apparently they were inspired by FFXV, and it shows with some of the battle sequences and the fact the main character looks a lot like Noctis
This looks very very good but it's missing tons of little details to elevate the game further.
The rocks hitting the ground disappear, the shots from the helicarrier or wtv that is have no impact on the ground...things like these I take close attention, we're in the next gen x)
To think that only 30 people are working on this game is really amazing. The only concern I have so far are the sound effects which doesn't seem to align with the combat mechanic. Hope they work on that before the release.
Will definitely keep an eye out for this game.
Looks ULTRA linear
The PS4 seems to be hitting a higher level as the devs really see what they can squeeze out of it.
Looks awesome, though some of the special effects looked kinda off. Regardless, I'm interested. Also, the music is pretty dope lol
One of the very, very rare gameplay demos that left me speechless. When it was over, I just sat there in stunned silence for a few minutes. I REALLY (and I mean REALLY) hope what we're seeing isn't bulls**t. If it legit looks and plays like this, I could see this being an all-time favorite.
This looks really good. Hopefully there'll be a Native PS5 version too.
Looks utterly generic.
@AFCC Do keep in mind that this being made on a shoestring budget with barely 30 people making it plus it's a last gen game that's been in development for about 5 years or so
I've been waiting for this for a while and am more excited about this than Returnal or Ratchet & Clank.
@Keyblade-Dan yeah I read about it after. It still looks pretty dope like I said
Just read on ign that there will be a ps5 version of the game
Hi there fellow gamers.
Even though there are somethings that could be a little better, like the impact sounds of the charaters weapons hits and clashes,
My Goodness, this looks stunning and it is not just "graphics".
The fluidity of the animations, the HUGE combo paths you can do, the particle effects and how the combat with the first Boss they showed, actualy looked like a Duel between two powerful warriors with one, the Boss, clearly measuring his opponent, the main character, and both not showing their true power, just yet.
Now, THIS, this is a power fantasy game if I ever saw one.
Can´t wait for the official reveal of this game as a PS5 tittle whenever it´s ready.
Kudos to Yang and his team and keep up the good work.
Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all
If it is playstation china we gonna have to import it if you live in the US. When i saw it back before sony picked him up it was around the time ff15 came out. So i really doubt it plays like dmc.
To be honest, it looked edgy & cool back when it's concept video initially showed. But after the long development while great action games like DMC5, Sekiro & Nier Automata releasing since then, this game looks kinda aged now.
But of course I understand it's still a great job being an indie made by small team.
