APRIL 29, 2026 – French indie studio Opia Games has put a date on the chaos: their ultra-fast movement shooter SYDLESS will launch on Steam on May 27, 2026. The release date was unveiled at Games Made in France 2026 with a brand-new, fully hand-animated trailer.
Trading engine footage for hand-drawn frames, the new trailer pours SYDLESS’s ‘90s fever-dream energy into pure animated chaos – and confirms exactly when players can step into Randy’s Burgers for themselves.
In SYDLESS, your weapon is a chaotic bouncing ball that grows deadlier the more you move. You’ll play as Diego, an overworked 90s fast-food employee trapped in a hostile anomaly who will have to wall-jump, slide, and dash your way through a restaurant where customers turned to monsters.
After May 2025’s reveal at the AG French Direct, September’s demo launch, and February’s Steam Next Fest participation, the May 27 release marks the moment players will finally get to enjoy the full game.
“The whole game is centered around style, so it only made sense to have a stylish trailer for the release date” – Opia Games

About The Studio:
Opia Games is an independent game studio based in Angoulême, France. The team currently includes seven core members, with additional punctual support of an eighth person.
They handle most aspects of development in-house but collaborate with talented studios specialising in Sound Design/Music and VFX when needed.
Their first game, The Lone Blade, is a 3D platformer where you play as a soul trapped in a blade. It helped shape their creative identity and set the tone for the kinds of games they want to make: experiences that explore unique ideas and spark curiosity in players. Opia Games is a studio that thrives on creating games with unconventional gameplay and distinctive atmospheres.
With Sydless, their second game, they're continuing in that direction.
