Lost Soul Aside Redemption Arc Starts in Tomorrow’s Feature-Packed PS5 Update

Lost Soul Aside, the PS5 action game that launched earlier this year to mixed reviews, is about to get its much-anticipated redemption arc with a major update scheduled for tomorrow, November 18, 2025. The patch aims to transform the game’s experience, adding new modes, features, and enhancements that promise to improve gameplay and polish its previously lackluster aspects. Developer UltiZero Games hopes to follow in the footsteps of games like No Man’s Sky, which famously turned around its reception through consistent updates and community-focused improvements.

Surge of Voidrax: A Test of Endurance and Strategy

The headline addition in this update is Surge of Voidrax, a new game mode that challenges players with 100 waves of enemies. Each wave escalates in difficulty, testing your endurance and strategic thinking. The mode unlocks all four weapons from the base game, along with the entire skill tree, giving players full access to their combat options from the get-go.

After clearing waves, players will earn resources that can be used to craft cosmetic rewards, providing an incentive to push through the increasingly tough challenges. The Surge of Voidrax isn’t just about fighting waves—it’s a true test of combat skill, strategy, and perseverance. As you progress, you’ll encounter familiar bosses and enemies from the campaign, giving you an opportunity to hone your skills in a high-stakes environment.

In between waves, you can visit Liana’s Shop to stock up on health items, upgrades, and power-ups, all of which help boost your Arena Power and prepare you for the next round. How far can you push your limits?

Core Game Enhancements

Alongside Surge of Voidrax, several other features and quality-of-life improvements are being introduced to the base game, giving players more freedom and flexibility as they explore the world of Lost Soul Aside:

• Skip the Prologue: Want to jump straight into the action? The update lets you skip the prologue and dive directly into the game’s exhilarating combat system, cutting out the slower introductory sections for a quicker start.
• Voidrax Pathfinder: Navigating tricky puzzles or complex challenges can be frustrating, but the Voidrax Pathfinder is here to help. This new feature guides you to objectives or helps unlock puzzles, allowing you to explore at your own pace without getting stuck.
• New Skins and Customization: Personalize your character with a variety of new skins, including customizable “X” weapon accessories, classic Crystal weapons, and stunning armor and knight costumes. Create a look that fits your style and stands out in the world of Lost Soul Aside.
• Improved Cutscenes: The cutscenes in Lost Soul Aside have been revamped to deliver a more cinematic and immersive experience. Enhanced character expressions, improved global lighting and shadows, and environmental voice lip-sync animations all come together to create a more dynamic storytelling experience.

Combat and Technical Improvements

The combat system has also received some significant adjustments. Players will now enjoy refined core combat actions, such as improved rolling and double jumps, along with fine-tuned weapon feel for weapons like the Scythe and Greatsword. These tweaks aim to make combat smoother, with combos flowing more seamlessly and offering a better sense of weight and impact during battles.

Additionally, customizable controls are now available, allowing players to tailor their button layouts to suit their preferences. This adds a layer of personalization to the controls, making the game more accessible and comfortable for all players.

Game Director’s Vision: A Richer, More Engaging Experience

Yang Bing, game director at UltiZero Games, shared his vision for this update: “From the extreme challenge of Surge of Voidrax to personalized experiences with the Voidrax Pathfinder, and polished cinematic storytelling to a wealth of new appearances, this update is packed with sincerity, aiming to present a richer, more engaging gameplay experience in Lost Soul Aside.”

With these major changes, UltiZero Games is clearly hoping to address the shortcomings that plagued the original launch. Lost Soul Aside received a 6/10 score in its initial review due to issues with characters, performance, and combat weight. While the game’s potential was evident, it struggled to fully capture the magic of its inspirations. However, this update seems to be a step in the right direction, offering both new challenges and meaningful improvements to make the game more enjoyable and immersive.

A Step Toward Redemption

Ultimately, the update released tomorrow, November 18, 2025, marks the beginning of Lost Soul Aside’s redemption arc. Whether or not it will be enough to turn the game into the hit UltiZero Games hopes for remains to be seen, but the changes made in this patch show a commitment to listening to feedback and improving the player experience.

For players who were initially disappointed with the game, this update might just offer the chance to revisit Lost Soul Aside and see how far the title has come since its rocky launch. With its new mode, enhanced combat, improved story elements, and fresh customization options, there’s plenty of reason to be excited about what’s next for the game.

Will this update be the game-changer Lost Soul Aside needed? Only time will tell. For now, players can jump into the new content and see if they can survive the Surge of Voidrax.
