DigiBC member Sunset Visitor wins Peabody Award for 1000xRESIST

The game is just the fourth one to win an award since the Immersive and Interactive category was introduced in 2022.

Congratulations to DigiBC member Sunset Visitor for their game 1000xRESIST winning a Peabody Award, the oldest major honour for electronic and broadcast media in the US!

Given the quality of the storytelling, the artistic style in which it is delivered and the ease with which players are immersed in the game’s world, it is no wonder that Sunset Visitor has been honoured with a Peabody Award. Created in 1940 to honour exceptional storytelling in radio broadcasting, the award now recognizes storytelling achievement in television, journalism, podcasts, interactive media and more. Honourees must have wide appeal and truly excel in order to earn the requisite unanimous vote from the 16 judges.
