Lost Soul Aside aiming for 2020 release [Update]

PlayStation China Hero Project action game Lost Soul Aside is aiming for release in 2020, according to a Xinwen Zongheng report.

While development on Lost Soul Aside began as a solitary venture by creator Yang Bing, he is no longer a one man studio. Now with his own team at Ultizero Games, different tasks such as scripting, props, characters can be assigned to team members during the development stage.

“The milestone in 2020 is to release this game,” Yang Bing said.

Yang Bing continued, “We are shaping the game as best as we can do, not just only for the players who keep supporting us, but also for our investors to have a better business return. In the long run, I hope that we can let this IP travel further, by accumulating experience, so that our team may deliver something not just in this genre, but also in other genres.”

Update 01/06/20 at 1:06 p.m.: A pair of tweets from the official Lost Soul Aside Twitter account has clarified that Yang Bing’s comments are not an official announcement:

Today, news spread from a Chinese radio interview that Yang Bing led about Lost Soul Aside and his future projects; in which the creator said he hopes to be able to release the game by the end of 2020.

Take note, however, that this is not a release date announcement.

We understand people’s hype and expectations towards our project and we are very grateful! However, please do not spread false information about a “release date announcement.” More news coming soon!
