If you’ve been looking for a fresh new take on life simulation, theninZOImight be the answer to your prayers. From KRAFTON, the developer behindPUBG: Battlegrounds,inZOIis set to revolutionize the life sim genre, and you’re able to try out character creation for yourself later this month.
Like many long-timeThe Simsplayers, I’ve sunk hours of my life into character creation, downloading CC to improve my characters and tweaking the most minute of details. With that said,inZOIlooks to have made some major improvements on what I’ve grown used to, and I can see myself sinking at least 20 hours into the Character Studio alone.
Speaking of the Character Studio, it will go live on Steam for just five days on August 21 before going offline again on August 26. This sneak peek into the potential competitor toThe Simswill come just one day after we get to see a brand new trailer forinZOIatGamescom 2024 Opening Night Live.
According to a press release from KRAFTON, the Character Studio features over 250 customization options, including the following:
The Character Studio also uses generative AI in order to create truly unique patterns on items of clothing, and players are encouraged to share their creations on ‘Canvas’, which is a built-in platform where the community can share their creations, similar toThe Sims 4Gallery.
KRAFTON is also partnering with Overwolf, a platform that allows creators to create and monetize in-game apps, mods, and more. The hope is that the partnership will allow inZOI players to build on the base game and add further customization options as soon as the game launches into Early Access, which is set to be sometime in late 2024.
