InZOI (stylized "inZOI") is an upcoming life simulation game developed by Krafton (Korean: 크래프톤).[1] The game is set to be released for Windows PC in late 2024, with a later release for current-gen consoles.[2]

Development[edit]

InZOI is being developed by Korean game studio Krafton. The producer and director for InZOI is Hyungjun "Kjun" Kim.[3] The game is being developed using Unreal Engine 5.[4] The development of inZOI began in early 2023, with Krafton aiming to create a life simulation game that epitomizes depth and player agency. The game's development team was comprised of industry veterans known for their work on high-profile simulation games. They sought to integrate advanced AI algorithms that drive character behavior, making each Zoi's actions and interactions as lifelike as possible. [5] [6]

The graphics engine used in inZOI was specifically developed to render highly detailed environments and characters. It allows for nuanced lighting effects, realistic textures, and intricate facial expressions, setting a new visual standard for the genre.[7]

A significant aspect of the game's development focused on the "Canvas" platform – an integrated system designed for creators to share their custom content. This system has been instrumental in building inZOI's community and fostering a shared space for creativity and collaboration among players.[8]

Gameplay[edit]

InZOI will take place in an open world environment, where players can direct their characters by point-and-click or by direct control. Players can customise their characters and houses how they desire. The game will feature tools to edit the environments.[9][10]

In an interview uploaded to the Krafton YouTube channel on November 15, 2023, it was revealed that the player is an intern at a company, whose job it is to manage a neighbourhood of "ZOI", the name of the in-game characters.[4][11]

Players will be able to share their creations and find new ones through the in-game canvas, and InZOI will also come with Plugins to allow for easy mod creation.[9]
