Genvid's Silent Hill: Ascension won the Outstanding Innovation in Emerging Media Programming award at the 76th Creative Arts Emmy Awards.
The interactive streaming series ran from October 31, 2023, to July 15, 2024. Consisting of 22 episodes, the series followed a “choose your own adventure” style narrative with story outcomes decided by viewers.
Silent Hill: Ascension was developed in Unreal Engine using the platform's MetaHuman Creator.
“We are honored to receive this award from the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences jury,” said Genvid CEO Jacob Novak. “I would like to thank our team members around the world – the 300+ writers, artists, developers, QA testers, motion capture performers, voice actors and localization editors – who made this possible.
“I would also like to thank Konami Digital Entertainment for their incredible support and our countless partners, including Bad Robot Games, Behaviour Interactive, Senscape, Streamline, Google and Epic Games, who contributed to this victory.”
Genvid's next project is DC Heroes United, which is set to debut later this year.
The 76th Creative Emmy Awards will be presented over two nights at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles on September 7 and 8, 2024.
