Lost Soul Aside goes gold after 11 years in development, releasing on PS5 and PC this August
Ultizero Games has announced that Lost Soul Aside has officially gone gold, marking the end of its lengthy 11-year development. The action RPG will release on August 29 2025 for PlayStation 5 and PC, with Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Korea receiving it a day later. The project began in 2016 when Chinese developer Yang Bing shared a demo video that quickly gained attention online. The footage caught Sony's eye, leading to Lost Soul Aside becoming part of the China Hero Project, a PlayStation initiative that supports indie Chinese developers with resources such as quality control, code reviews, audio, and marketing. What started as a solo endeavour has since grown into a 40-person studio effort. The game's style reflects Bing's admiration for the Final Fantasy series, combining manga-inspired characters with realistic textures. In an interview with Famitsu, Bing explained that the mix of surreal and realistic design elements influenced the creation of the game's protagonist. For its combat system, Lost Soul Aside takes cues from titles like Bayonetta, Ninja Gaiden, and Devil May Cry, blending fast-paced action with elaborate visual effects. The development team is now focusing on final optimisation and testing ahead of launch, having shifted from the original planned PlayStation 4 release to fully utilise PS5 hardware. Two editions will be available: the Standard Edition at $59.99 and the Digital Deluxe Edition at $69.99. Pre-purchases are open ahead of the game's debut later this month.

From curiosity to craze
At the opening ceremony of the 20th World Saxophone Congress in late July, as a melody filled the venue, 57-year-old Yin Zhifa was swept back to that distant morning in 1976 when he first glimpsed the shimmering saxophone. Little did he know then that over the next five decades, he would travel across China with his saxophone in hand, bringing fresh melodies to the lives of countless Chinese listeners. Yin is a veteran saxophonist and currently serves as president of the professional saxophone committee of the China Popular Music Association (CPMA). He said he still vividly remembers seeing a saxophone for the first time at a public performance when he was eight. "The golden gleam of its brass body and its vibrant, soaring melody instantly captivated me." 'Air of mystery' Yin began formal training at nine and joined a local performance troupe at 17, becoming one of China's few saxophonists of that era. At the time, the saxophone still carried an air of mystery in China. While it occasionally appeared in military honour guard shows or parades, for most people it remained a rare and exotic import from the distant West. "Back then, only a handful of factory and school bands had saxophones. It looked and sounded incredible, so I worked hard to learn how to play," Yin said, adding that a light music tape released in 1982 helped introduce the instrument to a wider audience in China. Recorded by a Beijing-based orchestra, the tape featured the saxophone as the lead instrument, backed by drums and guitar. Its fresh, vibrant sound soon became a symbol of the country's spirit of opening up. In 1991, Yin joined the Art Ensemble of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions as a saxophonist. During performances across the country, he noticed audiences responding with growing enthusiasm, often erupting in applause during his saxophone solos. "That's when I decided to popularise the saxophone among the public because only with widespread affection can it truly thrive," he said. Going home Over the next three decades, Yin's life would closely mirror the saxophone's growing popularity in China. In 1993, he compiled China's first saxophone grading exam textbook, laying the foundation for a standardised evaluation system. Thanks to Yin's persistent advocacy, institutions like the Central Conservatory of Music began launching saxophone programs from 1997 onward, formally introducing the Western instrument into China's higher music education. "At first, many thought it lacked the foundation of traditional Chinese instruments among the people, but music knows no borders. A beautiful melody always resonates with listeners," Yin said, noting that this was best illustrated by the nationwide saxophone craze ignited by the iconic piece Going Home. In 2002, American saxophonist Kenny G performed it in China, and its tapes and CDs quickly became a "signature melody" heard in shopping malls, school bells and even over park loudspeakers across the country. "Emphasising family bonds in traditional culture, Chinese people hold a special connection to the idea of 'returning home,' making the name and melody deeply resonate with our emotions," said Yin Shenghua, Yin's daughter and a young saxophonist. Having grown up watching her father promote the saxophone, the junior Yin was struck by the deep passion for the instrument she witnessed upon returning from her studies in France. She observed retired seniors practicing in groups with speakers in Beijing parks, while many five-year-olds began learning the saxophone in training classes in Harbin, capital of northeast China's Heilongjiang Province. According to the CPMA, there are now approximately 800,000 people learning the saxophone in China. To further promote the saxophone's popularity, Yin Zhifa compiled simplified notation textbooks for middle-aged and elderly enthusiasts and encouraged manufacturers to produce smaller instruments tailored for children in recent years. For him, the saxophone has been more than a source of joy for Chinese music lovers; it has also served as a bridge for cultural exchange beyond the realm of art. From July 26 to 31 this year, the World Saxophone Congress was held in China for the first time, drawing musicians from 33 countries to Harbin. Yin and many saxophonists believe that this gathering of diverse musical ideas and cultural styles paved a brighter future for the saxophone in China. The staggering sheer number of saxophonists, as well as the presence of many large saxophone orchestras, is a remarkable achievement, said Arno Bornkamp, president of the International Saxophone Committee. "Though it originated in the West, the saxophone has taken root in China," the senior Yin said.
