When Final Fantasy XV meets Devil May Cry, with a hint of Soulslike, we get Lost Soul Aside. This game is a hack-and-slash RPG with a super flashy, in-depth, and satisfying combat system. Originally developed by only one man, it gained Sony’s support after the initial reveal was well-received.

Lost Soul Aside follows Kaser, who must save his sister’s soul and thus has to battle many powerful foes along the way. It is a simple but effective premise for an action RPG.

Nearly a decade after its announcement, Lost Soul Aside is set to release in 2025 on PC and PlayStation 5.
