New action RPG for PS5 and Steam shows battles like from Devil May Cry, but after a new trailer fans are only talking about one thing

There is a new trailer for Lost Soul Aside, a new action RPG for PS5 and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store). The trailer shows fresh gameplay from the battles, reminiscent of games like Devil May Cry. However, fans are currently only talking about one thing.

What kind of game is this? Lost Soul Aside is an action RPG where you resist invaders from another dimension. It started around 10 years ago as a solo project – today, game designer Yang Bing has a strong publisher in Sony backing him. 

In the meantime, a whole team is working on the project, which looks like a mix of Final Fantasy 15 and Devil May Cry. FF seems to have primarily provided inspiration for the visuals, while DMC especially shines through in the battles.

Lost Soul Aside will be released on August 29, 2025 for PS5 and PC on Steam and Epic Games. On August 18, the developers uploaded a new trailer showcasing some particularly powerful abilities of the character – all with a real visual effects bonanza.

You can see the trailer here:

“How many particle effects do you want? – Yes!”

Fans can’t stop talking about the effects: Some abilities almost fill the entire screen with their visual effects, and small particles are flying everywhere. In the comments on the trailer on YouTube, fans are hardly talking about anything else.

• riconaito1627 imagines the conversation between the original game designer and the other developers like this: “Developer: How many particle effects do you want? Yang Bing: YAAAAAA!!!!”
• Tobenne is already joking: “Sorry, Dev. There’s some gameplay in my particle effects”

However, there are also those who are worried about all the effects. They could have an impact on the game’s performance or make the game become chaotic quickly.

• “I hope there are no stuttering problems with so many particles,” writes silverreaps6803
•  hoshangmerzanazar2317 asks: “Did anyone else have trouble seeing what was happening, or is it just me?”
