Here’s everything you need to know before launch.

Lost Soul Aside: Release on PlayStation 5 and PC
Lost Soul Aside will launch simultaneously on PS5 and PC. On PC, it will be available via the Epic Games Store and Steam, while PlayStation players can grab it exclusively through the PS Store. There are currently no plans for an Xbox version.

The story of Lost Soul Aside
In Lost Soul Aside, you play as Kaser, who sets out on a mission to find his missing sister Louisa. What begins as a personal rescue soon escalates into a battle for the fate of humanity.
Louisa’s soul has been stolen by the Voidrax—interdimensional invaders who feed on the energy of other species’ souls. With the help of Arena, a dragon-like creature that grants him powerful new abilities, Kaser must travel across different worlds to stop the Voidrax.
Along the way, he will meet allies and enemies, experience unexpected twists, and face emotional moments. Ultimately, his journey will teach him the true meaning of friendship, family, and sacrifice.
Lost Soul Aside gameplay: Combat, exploration, and puzzles
The heart of Lost Soul Aside lies in its fast-paced combat. You can chain combos of standard attacks and special abilities to deal heavy damage, while also dodging or parrying incoming strikes.
With Arena’s powers, you’ll unlock more abilities over time, making battles increasingly dynamic. You can boost attack damage, enhance healing, or summon protective shields. Weapons can also be upgraded and customized with special fragments.
Beyond combat, you’ll explore diverse environments ranging from snowy landscapes to ancient ruins. Along the way, you’ll encounter characters with their own backstories and solve puzzles to progress the narrative.
By earning experience points, you can improve attributes and tailor your playstyle. A skill tree lets you specialize in different abilities. The combat system is designed to be easy to learn but hard to master, appealing to both newcomers and veterans.

Special PC features

4K and HDR

Ray tracing effects
