Krafton Says The Sims Competitor Inzoi Still Launching in Early Access This Year


Life simulation fans will be pleased to hear that Inzoi, The Sims competitor from PUBG company Krafton, is still set to launch in Early Access in 2024 despite the year winding down.

Game director Hyungjun Kim told PC Gamer that Inzoi is still on track for an Early Access release on PC this year despite no official announcement coming from Krafton.

Inzoi is “a life simulation game where players become gods within the game, allowing them to change everything as they wish and experience endless new stories in various forms of life.” This was enough to capture the attention of disgruntled The Sims fans, with many claiming they’ll switch to Inzoi for good once it’s fully released.

Krafton has plans to support Inzoi for the next 20 years too, according to Kim, as he has many improvements in mind. “I think it has a lot of improvements that can be made. For instance, we need more cities,” he said.

“We want to create as many cities as possible to help people experience different cultures and different countries, and I want people to have urges to create things to be able to create everything they want. I want maybe other games to be inside our game, and actually to function. And I want to put in as many features as possible that creators could use.” A console release is planned too.

Krafton announced Inzoi in November 2023 and the release of a character creator in August indicates development is progressing. The Sims fans were enticed by the teaser and used it to create all sorts of real and fictional people such as Taylor Swift and Harry Potter.

In our preview if Inzoi, IGN said: “The game’s world is extremely beautiful but somewhat empty in motion, permeated by a lack of grounding lore.”
