InZOI : Sim but with hyper Realistic Graphic

InZOI joins Sims 4 competitors Life by You and Paralives in their efforts to unseat EA’s genre-defining giant from its throne, though it appears to be striking in a very different direction from its peers. Instead of limitless customization or a stylized dream house, InZOI aims to turn heads with photorealistic visuals – a real first for life games. Do we have a Sims rival on our hands?

PUBG publisher Krafton has shown off its take on the classic series, inZOI 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.

An official blurb of the game (translations via IGN) reads, "Do you have a life you've always dreamed of? Do you need a unique experience that blurs the line between reality and imagination? In InZoi you can freely control the world like a god and make your ideal life a reality. Also, rather than simply living the life given to you, you can become the protagonist who leads the life you want. It's time to create your own story at InZoi, where infinite possibilities await!"

InZOI is due to release in late 2024 according to developer Krafton. It was officially unveiled during G-Star 2023, the largest videogame trade show in Korea. Krafton  is yet to confirm whether InZOI will be available on Steam, though it seems likely that it’ll make its way onto the platform given that the vast majority of Krafton’s games appear on Valve’s digital storefront.

It looks like an appropriately involved game, with lots of different activities for your characters (inZOIans?) to take part in. You can of course customise buildings to look however you want, and there's a pretty in-depth looking character creator too. Though, at one point they show off someone made to resemble Joaquin Phoenix's Joker which is certainly a choice.

People of all different ages appear in InZOI, and we can take control of and interact with babies, toddlers, and elderly Zois alike. We expect that all of them will age over time, though whether this will be an incremental development or a succession of life stages remains to be seen.
