Star streamer Niki Nihachu is hosting a new gaming content series called ‘ЯReboot’ launching in Twitch’s Just Chatting category this week.
The content series has been announced by Rockstar Energy Drink, and episodes will feature special guests to chat about ‘future innovations, insider gaming knowledge and hard-hitting subjects’.
Episode one will be available to stream from Wednesday October 26th 2022 at 7pm. Niki and guests will dig into their favourite games from the past and which ones ignited their passion for the passtime.
This first episode will feature two UK streamers. One, Mary Udofia, stream & content manager for Black Girl Gamers, will chat about what her group stands for, and what it means to see a more inclusive group of people on Twitch. And the other, Gee Nelly, a streamer with a keen interest in fashion and design, will discuss future trends and designs in avatars’ clothing, and sharing some of the most impressive tech in the metaverse.
Niki Nihachu is from Germany but is currently based in the UK. Both Niki Nihachu and Gee Nelly were previously with UK-based esports organisation Guild, and got involved in activities like Super Stream Sunday. And Black Girl Gamers have organised a variety of activities including London’s recent Gamer Girls Night In.
ЯReboot will feature a magazine-style format and aim to cover conversations around music, sport, food, community and fashion, with a variety of guests.
“I’ll be chatting to the people who have helped take gaming to the next level, how gaming and AR is infiltrating other aspects of our life, and how it has become an inclusive community for everyone – even if they don’t play themselves.”

Episode two, three and four are yet to be revealed, with Niki Nihachu fans having the chance to be part of a live audience for one of the final episodes.
Niki Nihachu said: “I’m really excited to be hosting the ЯReboot series with Rockstar. Gaming has grown so much in the last few years and the gaming industry is so innovative. In the series, I’ll be chatting to the people who have helped take gaming to the next level, how gaming and AR is infiltrating other aspects of our life, and how it has become an inclusive community for everyone – even if they don’t play themselves.
“Gaming has something for everyone and I hope this series makes my audience want to not just get involved, but to pursue their passion no matter what it is.”
Viktoriya Ustenko, Rockstar Energy Drink European senior marketing director, commented: “We are thrilled to announce the launch of RReboot with Rockstar, a Just Chatting Twitch series hosted by the renowned Niki Nihachu. With gaming becoming one of the fastest and largest growing forms of entertainment, we want to create a series that is as inclusive as it is exciting, by bringing different gamers together to share their stories, insights and advice.
“This content series is the latest brand activation that we hope helps fans follow and actively enjoy their passions.”
ЯReboot will be released monthly, from October to December, and available to watch on Nihachu’s Twitch channel.
