It appears that the highly-anticipated upcoming PS5 exclusive, set for release in August, might experience an unexpected delay. Delaying games at such a late stage isn’t typically what we see from PlayStation, especially since the era of crunch has diminished. However, recent reports suggest this could indeed be the case for Sony’s next PS5 title. The current release date is August 29th, but it seems there might be an update on that soon.
According to industry insider and YouTuber Detective Seeds, who is well-known for his PlayStation updates, there are rumors that the release of the game Lost Soul Aside might be pushed back after ChinaJoy in early August. This is based on a lack of activity behind the scenes, which was also observed in April and May before the game’s previous delay to August.
Detective Seeds speculates that the release of “Lost Soul Aside” might be delayed once more following ChinaJoy (first week of August). He expresses his hope that his assumption is incorrect, but cites a particular reason for his belief. Since PlayStation is involved in this game, there are usual internal milestones that should have been met by now, which appear to still be outstanding – just as they were in April and May.
Initially announced as part of the PlayStation China Hero Project in 2017, Lost Soul Aside has been under development by Chinese studio Ultizero Games and published by Sony. Originally slated for release on May 30, the game was pushed back at the last moment on April 29. Given its history of delays, a second postponement so close to the original date is not entirely surprising. However, it’s important to note that this information should be taken with a pinch of salt.
Detective Seeds often hits the target with his information, but there have been instances where he’s missed the mark. This is common for those who trade in gossip and conjecture, and Detective Seeds is not immune to this.
On some occasions, Detective Seeds has proven accurate with his insights, while at other times, he has been incorrect. This is typical of individuals who deal in rumors and speculation, and Detective Seeds is no different.
Currently, neither Ultizero Games nor Sony has responded to this report, as they typically do not comment on rumors or speculation according to their policy. However, if anything new arises, we’ll be sure to update the story. For now, it’s confirmed that Lost Soul Aside is set to launch on PS5 and PC on August 29th.
