Overview

Regnum Studio is an independent game development studio based in Bahrain, officially established in 2018 after its founders had already been developing games for several years. The studio focuses on creating original games alongside providing development, gamification, consultation, external development and localisation services.

The studio's best-known project is Apollo X, a sci-fi horror game set aboard a mysteriously abandoned spaceship. The game uses adaptive horror mechanics, including heart-rate monitoring on PC, machine-learning AI and procedural generation, with optional VR support for PSVR2 and Meta Quest. Apollo X has won multiple awards, including the Microsoft Imagine Cup Bahrain and Pan-Arab competitions, and was a finalist at the 2016 worldwide competition.

Regnum also develops games for clients and has worked across mobile, PC and XR projects. Its services include full game development, gamification, external development and localisation for studios seeking to enter the MENA market.

The studio's founders have also been involved in developing Bahrain's local games ecosystem, including establishing the Unity Devs Syndicate community to help grow local game development talent.
