Unveiled at the end of 2023, inZoi is a new game in development that takes many of The Sims mechanics with sumptuous graphics.
In the world of life simulation games, it’s hard to name a leader other than “The Sims.” The franchise, which seems to have ruled the genre since its debut in the 2000s, is still waiting for its fifth installment in 2025 with a promise to be free at launch (but surely accompanied by a plethora of additional downloadable content). The Sims series could, however, find a serious competitor with the upcoming release of inZoi.
InZoi is a life simulation game developed by the Krafton studio, which is notably responsible for “Player’s Unknow Battleground” or more commonly called “PUBG”. All the elements of a “sims like” are present in the first videos and presentation images of the title: character creation, relationships to manage, work to find, family to found, housing to buy and customize…
The biggest difference between inZoi and The Sims is definitely in the graphics. Where the Electronic Arts series is still very much into “cartoon” characters, the Krafton studio offers a title with ultra-advanced graphics and characters close to reality.
Graphics that can also be tested until August 26th since the creation of the game’s characters is in free demo on the Steam platform. You will be able to create your own “Zoi” in order to use them in the final game when it is released.
InZoi was unveiled at the 2023 G-Star Korean trade show and does not have a specific release date. Krafton studio still hopes to release the game by sometime in 2024, but that seems ambitious given that the year is already well underway.
