Genvid is an award-winning studio delivering a brand new form of entertainment combining the best of traditional storytelling with the immersion and interaction of video games. We call this category Massively Interactive Live Events (MILEs). Imagine you and a global community of fans influencing the canon storyline of your favorite franchises: making choices which will affect the fates of heroes, villains and entire worlds. MILEs also have the unique aspect of giving fans a choice between sitting back and enjoying watching dramatic events unfold, or leaning-in and participating themselves. All of this happens live, in the company of millions of other fans. Genvid’s next exciting project for 2024 is DC Heroes United, an interactive streaming series, licensed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment on behalf of DC, where fans will determine what kinds of DC Super Heroes and Super-Villains our beloved characters will become. Successful past projects include Emmy Award winner SILENT HILL: Ascension (with Konami Digital Entertainment), The Walking Dead: Last Mile (with Skybound Entertainment), PAC-MAN Community (with Bandai Namco Entertainment) and the all-original Rival Peak. All of these projects (and others) are enabled by Genvid’s proprietary and innovative MILEs SDK technology. If you are looking for that rare opportunity to truly innovate digital entertainment, contact us. We’d love to hear from you!
