Apidya’ Special – Five Day Countdown to Launch!
One week remains until Apidya' Special launches digitally on PC, PlayStation 5, XBOX, and Nintendo Switch. The modern remake of the classic Amiga shoot-'em-up, developed by Team Apidya, is coming August 25, 2026
First released in 1992, Apidya has earned a devoted following through its insect-themed fantasy world, challenging difficulty, and a soundtrack that fans still talk about today. Apidya' Special rebuilds that experience from the ground up for modern platforms, keeping the tone and challenge that turned it into an Amiga cult favourite.
