Apidya' Special is dropping August 25 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PC, and ININ Games is keeping it pure — a 24-bit pixel remake of the 1992 Amiga shmup with zero AI upscaling or 3D models, just handcrafted pixels straight from the original team's vibe plus superfan Stefan Becker.

Chris Hülsbeck is back with a brand-new rearranged soundtrack that fans have never heard before, alongside remixed classics, optional CRT shaders, bloom, and scanline effects for that authentic retro flex. Physical editions for PS5 and Switch are already teased with art books and double-CD soundtracks, so the physical collectors are eating good.

X is already buzzing with Amiga nostalgia — one clip of the original gameplay racked up hundreds of likes calling it one of the best 16-bit shmups, while ININ's Gamescom posts show people actually demoing it in the retro zone. This isn't another lazy port; it's 33 years of passion finally hitting modern platforms.
