KRAFTON showcases UE5-made "inZOI"; poised to be legitimate rival to EA's The Sims
At G-STAR 2023, South Korea's largest gaming event, KRAFTON, renowned for developing the hit game PUBG: Battlegrounds, showed off a gameplay demonstration of its latest project, "inZOI."
This new life simulation game, currently in its early development stages, is already generating buzz as a potential competitor to EA's popular The Sims series. inZOI promises to offer players god-like control within the game, allowing them to reshape their environment and live out various life stories according to their whims.
The demo, which you can check out below, gave a glimpse into the game's expansive character creation tool, build mode, and an innovative Director's Mode, which lets players modify the in-game city, adjust weather conditions, and more.
The game's utilization of Epic Games' Unreal Engine 5 is a significant highlight, suggesting that the lifelike graphics seen in the announcement trailer and official screenshots might reflect the quality of the final release.
This advanced engine choice indicates KRAFTON's commitment to providing a visually stunning and immersive simulation experience.
In inZOI, players are not just participants in the game world but have the power to lead the life they envision, offering a new level of interaction and creativity in the life simulation genre. (Take a look at the interior design on display below, for a great example.)
During G-STAR 2023, KRAFTON's showcase of inZOI was more than just a game announcement; it was a statement about the evolving landscape of life simulation games. inZOI invites players to create and control their unique stories, emphasizing the limitless possibilities within its virtual world.
The best place to keep up with inZOI's development appears to be on KRAFTON's official YouTube channel.
We cannot wait for this one!
