Lost Soul Aside approved in China, leading to speculations of a release date announcement
Exciting news for fans of the Final Fantasy-inspired PlayStation exclusive, Lost Soul Aside! The game, which was first introduced by a solo developer back in 2016 before being picked up by Sony as a PS4 exclusive, has just received approval for release in China. The official X account for Lost Soul Aside made the announcement, indicating that the game has successfully passed through the review process in the developer, UltiZero Games’, home country.
Niko Partners analyst, Daniel Ahmad, shared his insights on Twitter, suggesting that this approval paves the way for a potential release date announcement in the near future. According to Ahmad, fans can anticipate some news within the next three months.
This means the game has been reviewed and can officially launch in mainland China.
In other words, there will be news for the launch of the game fairly soon (At least within the next 3 months or so, typically.) https://t.co/cAGtpex4Ce— Daniel Ahmad (@ZhugeEX) April 26, 2024
With Lost Soul Aside potentially reaching the final stages of development, speculations arise about the game’s launch timeline. Ahmad hinted that a release date might be announced within the next year. However, it is important to note that the recently acquired license does not come with a strict deadline for release, so fans are advised to manage their expectations accordingly.
No, that’s a different licensing thing, not this one.

While the future of Lost Soul Aside’s PS4 version remains uncertain, with no official confirmation from either Sony or UltiZero, it appears that the release on this platform may have been canceled.
