Lost Soul Aside release date and when you can explore the game's dark and monster-riddled world

Lost Soul Aside, brimming with magic and mystery, is set to embark on a thrilling journey following a delay in its release date.

While we've not been short of hack-and-slash dark fantasy adventures featuring a dashing anime lad wielding a hefty sword, we're still eagerly awaiting the arrival of Lost Soul Aside. This new boss-centric action-adventure RPG places you in the shoes of Kaser, on a quest to find his sister whose soul has been cruelly taken from her after an unsuccessful attempt to overthrow a despotic Emperor, in a realm teeming with magical creatures and ruthless enemies.

The game wowed players when it had the chance to flex its muscles at a PlayStation State of Play during this year's summer showcase season, unveiling a release date that has since been postponed – but this could result in a more refined and polished final product. It's welcome news, especially considering the amount of flames and sparks flying around the screen, the game could use all the help it can get.

The fantasy realm is filled with plenty for players to battle and demolish, and boasting ray tracing and optimised 4K graphics on PC, it's set to be a visually stunning title too. It's going to be a treat for fans of challenging hack-and-slash gameplay and fantasy worlds alike, and despite facing tough competition within the genre, it still promises to be a blast.

The release date for the highly anticipated game, Lost Soul Aside, is fast approaching. So, when exactly can we expect it to hit the shelves? Here's what you need to know.

Lost Souls Aside release date

The launch of Lost Souls Aside is scheduled for Friday, August 29. This date was announced by the game's team on Twitter back in June, revealing the delay. It's expected that Ultizero Games will announce the exact release time closer to the date, though we can expect that it will be consistent across PS5 and PC.

With a lot to offer, there's every possibility that Lost Soul Aside could become a modern classic on the PS5 as gamers look for their next dark fantasy adventure. Fingers crossed, we're in for an epic journey when Lost Soul Aside finally lands.
