Lost Soul Aside: The Passion Project Turned RPG Phenomenon - Pre-Order Now at Koodoo.co.za

When Lost Soul Aside first emerged from the creative mind of Yang Bing back in 2016, few could have predicted just how much that solo project would blossom. Today, this breathtaking action‑adventure RPG, created by Ultizero Games and backed by Sony through its China Hero Project, is poised to launch players on a bold, dimensional odyssey that promises to be as emotionally compelling as it is visually stunning.

You step into the shoes of Kaser, an orphan turned resistance fighter who has been carrying the weight of caring for his younger sister Louisa for years. Their world is one shattered by the terrifying interdimensional invaders known as the Voidrax. When Louisa becomes a target, her soul snatched away, Kaser’s journey kicks into high gear. Along the way he forms an unlikely alliance with Arena, a dragon-like warrior who can transform into weapons with names like Arena Claws, Crystal Blast, Frost Blast, Mountain Break, and the dramatic Purgatory Dance-abilities that render combat fluid and exhilarating.

Even though the game isn’t open world, it brilliantly avoids feeling restrained. It delivers meticulously designed levels that thread linear storytelling through branching paths, vertical exploration, and evocative settings. Expect breathtaking landscapes, from ice-laden ruins to surreal alien architecture, each setting polished with gorgeous visuals powered by Unreal Engine 4-a structure that’s probably why players describe the combat as high‑octane combo ballet with mid‑combo weapon swaps that feel as natural as a wink.

The hype train is ready to leave the station because Lost Soul Aside will land on both PlayStation 5 and Windows platforms on 29 August 2025-a date that’s been locked in after a brief delay from its original late May launch window.

If you're ready to reserve your slice of this epic journey, take note. Pre‑orders began 19 February 2025 across PS5 and PC storefronts, and come with some sweet in-game goodies. Kaser’s original reveal outfit, dubbed The Origin, 10 healing potions to ease those early battles, and 500 Divinity’s Gold to kickstart your progression are all in the bag.

For players craving that extra polish, the Digital Deluxe Edition injects even more flair into your game. Alongside the base experience you’ll get three weapon fragment cosmetics-Genesis Thunder, Everlasting Ember, and Crystal of Abyss-plus an Arena skin called Golden Blaze, a Ruby Necklace to boost your health, a Gemstone Badge for extra XP, a digital soundtrack, and a beautiful artbook to drool over. Essentially, it’s a treasure trove of goodies that adds both cosmetic flair and helpful power-ups to your arsenal.

On PS5 that package comes with next-level immersion-lightning fast SSD load times, DualSense controller with adaptive triggers and haptic feedback that makes every swing feel like a visceral experience, luscious 4K visuals, and 3D Tempest Audio that wraps the world around you like a warm RPG blanket.

So, here’s the takeaway: Lost Soul Aside is a stylish, action-adventure role-playing gem born from passion, refined with care, and now ready to whisk you across realms in the name of family and humanity. Its story and combat are as elegant as they are thrilling, with platform and weapon-swap mechanics that feel more dance than fight, all wrapped up in gorgeous visuals and bonus content worthy of a collector’s heart.
