An upcoming PS5 exclusive action adventure RPG has received a concerning update from a player who got their hands on the game at a recent preview event. Journalists and content creators recently got to play at an event in China, and one of the participants has shared a couple of issues that has fans worried.
Will PS5 exclusive RPG Lost Soul Aside live up to expectations?
A fan and former insider, who goes as Lunatic Ignus on X, claims to have played Lost Soul Aside at the aforementioned event. According to them, creator Yang Bing confirmed that the game is AA rather than AAA, and its $60 price tag is cause for concern.
Lunatic Ignus claims that Lost Soul Aside 'doesn't stand up for itself,' and in some parts, it 'feels very cheap with animations and combat.' The player reckons that although Chinese gamers are intrigued by the game, it's overpriced for what it has to offer.
As a reminder, the game was funded and is being published by Sony Interactive Entertainment on both PS5 and PC.
For comparison purposes, Black Myth: Wukong launched as a $60 game whereas Wuchang: Fallen Feathers came with a $49.99 price tag. Hit RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 also cost $49.99 at launch.
Lost Soul Aside was announced more than a decade ago, but Lunatic Ignus claims they were told at the event that development didn't 'truly' start until 2021, and it took its toll on Yang Bing's health.
The verdict on Lost Soul Aside will arrive when the game releases on August 29. In the meantime, check out some new gameplay footage:
