Save the date—March 19th, 2025, at 01:00 UTC! Krafton is holding a special online showcase for inZOI, a life sim that’s shaping up to be a serious competitor to The Sims. Here’s what to expect from the inZOI Global Showcase!
What Is inZOI?
inZOI is a life simulation game by Krafton, the creators of PUBG. Unlike The Sims, which has led the genre since 2000, inZOI focuses on realism with high-quality graphics using Unreal Engine 5. In this sim game, you can create your own characters, called Zois, and live out different life scenarios in a detailed, immersive world. What sets inZOI apart is its use of AI and advanced technology, including:
- CPC (Co-Playable Character) AI. These smart Zois can develop their own personalities.
- Advanced motion capture for realistic animations.
- In-game 3D printing features for added creativity.
- Dynamic scenarios with unexpected situations for more varied gameplay.
With such advanced features and realistic graphics, you might be wondering if your computer can handle it. Check out our guide on inZOI System Requirements for a detailed breakdown of what you’ll need to run the game smoothly.
