Genvid’s Silent Hill Series, “Ascension,” Wins Emmy Award
Genvid CEO Jacob Navok took to Twitter to announce that the experimental choose-the-outcome, episodic Silent Hill series, Ascension, has been honored with an Emmy award. The Creative Arts Emmy Award for Outstanding Innovation in Emerging Media Programming was presented to Silent Hill: Ascension, recognizing the team’s dedication and hard work.
Navok expressed his gratitude to the more than 300 team members who contributed to the project over the years. He acknowledged the writers, artists, developers, QA testers, mocap performers, voice actors, and localization editors who made Silent Hill: Ascension’s interactive series a success, offering viewers 168 choices throughout the entire series from October 31, 2023, to July 15, 2024.
Additionally, Navok thanked partners such as Bad Robot and Behaviour Interactive, as well as the numerous Metahumans involved in the show’s production.
Upcoming Project “DC Heroes United” and Success of “Silent Hill: The Short Message”
Genvid’s next project, DC Heroes United, is scheduled to premiere later this year and will continue the trend of audience-driven storytelling, similar to Ascension. Meanwhile, Konami’s surprise release, Silent Hill: The Short Message, a two-hour free-to-play first-person horror game, has already exceeded three million downloads since its launch earlier this year.
