Key confirmed features include:
-
Real Facial Capture for Zois: While previously announced, Kjun reiterated the team's commitment to streamlining this process for even easier zoi creation.
-
Player Pets: This beloved feature is in the works, but will not be available during the early access launch. Players will need to be patient for this addition.
-
Tall Buildings (30 Floors Max): While the game engine allows for taller structures, a 30-floor limit has been set to optimize performance.
-
Gas Stations and Enhanced Combat: Responding to player feedback regarding the initial "slap" mechanic, the game will now feature fully realized combat encounters with clear winners and losers.
-
Comprehensive Tutorial: Recognizing the potential influx of new players to the genre, a detailed tutorial will be included to ensure a smooth onboarding experience.
Krafton is still aiming for an early access release of InZOI at the end of March, with no current plans for further delays.
