inZOI, PUBG to Introduce AI-Enhanced Co-Playable Characters

CES 2025 has truly transformed the tech landscape over the last few days, with significant impacts on the mobile gaming industry. One of the standout announcements was the introduction of AI-generated "CPCs" - Co-Playable Characters. Unveiled by PUBG's Krafton on January 8th, these are not your typical NPCs. Instead, CPCs are Non-Playable Characters enhanced with generative AI, set to revolutionize gameplay in both PUBG and inZOI.

The integration of this innovative concept into inZOI is particularly fascinating. The "Smart Zoi" will possess emotional depth and unique personalities, enhancing the realism of interactions within the simulation. This promises to make the gaming experience in inZOI even more immersive and lifelike.

Meanwhile, in PUBG, the "PUBG Ally" will adapt various strategies alongside players, aiming to enhance player dynamics. Whether this feature excites or unnerves you, it certainly marks a new era in gaming.

Developed in collaboration with NVIDIA ACE, these Co-Playable Characters will facilitate real-time conversations with players, dynamically adapting to in-game scenarios. “Our collaboration with NVIDIA is a testament to the transformative potential of AI in gaming, and we plan to work closely together to push the boundaries of what is possible,” stated Kangwook Lee, Head of the Deep Learning Division at Krafton.
