Developed by Shanghai-based UltiZero Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, the Chinese ARPG (Action Role-Playing Game) Lost Soul Aside was released on Friday for PS5, PS4, and PC, priced from RMB 268 ($37) in China. Built on Unreal Engine 4 with RTX ray tracing, the game presents an open world blending science fiction and swordplay. Players take control of Kazer, a symbiont protagonist, engaging in fast-paced combos and weapon upgrades to battle alien creatures. Although the game reached a peak of over 3,070 concurrent players on Steam on launch day, technical issues sparked controversy. Steam’s first-day reviews were rated “mostly negative.” [TechNode reporting]Related
