Short Summary

Reija GmbH is a Berlin-based PC games company focused on creating distinctive indie titles for the global market. Founded in 2018 by industry veteran Jan Reichert, Reija brings together young talent and experienced developers to turn bold game ideas into lasting business models.

Since its early projects EXITUS and VIRUS, Reija has built a diverse portfolio including ARKNET: Singularity, Cyber Ninja, and Defend Earth: Xenos Survivors—its first PC release on Steam in 2023. The company shifted its focus entirely to PC games in 2022 and is currently developing larger premium titles such as Shell Runner, a co-op roguelite extraction shooter.

Reija’s newest games are Hellwake: Hordes of Styx, a first-person hack & slash roguelike coming to Steam in 2027, Pantheion, a roguelike deckbuilder inspired by world mythologies, and A Game of D.I.C.E., a competitive multiplayer dice game developed in partnership with FUNKE Media.
