Krafton, the developer and publisher behind PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds<\/a><\/em>, shared a trailer for its upcoming life sim game, Inzoi<\/em>, as part of Gamescom Opening Night Live on Tuesday<\/a>. The developers describe Inzoi <\/em>as a game where players “have full control” and the power to change \u201ceverything as they wish” in their virtual lives. The new trailer shows some of the scenarios players can expect to simulate, like getting married, partying, and even getting into a car crash.<\/p>\n

Krafton shared a gameplay reveal trailer for Inzoi<\/em><\/em> in November 2023. It\u2019s one of two games the Korean developer showcased at Gamescom this year; the other is a fantasy extraction game called Dark and Darker Mobile<\/em>. Although this trailer doesn\u2019t include a specific release date for Inzoi<\/em><\/em> \u2014 though the game is scheduled to be released on Windows PC by the end of 2024 \u2014 Krafton is offering one small treat to interested players: Starting Aug. 21 and running until Aug. 26, players will be able to download the character creator for Inzoi<\/em><\/em> for free to try it for a limited time.<\/p>\n

The new trailer shows a lot of gameplay you would see in any other life sim, like The Sims franchise. Your character can get married, babble at other characters in a gibberish language, and even set their kitchen on fire. However, other aspects of the game, like its realistic art style and urban city setting, appear to add just a dash of Grand Theft Auto vibes. As shown in the trailer, your character can get into car accidents and experience road rage. Or if you\u2019re the partying type, you can make it rain cash while you\u2019re dancing on the beach \u2014 your choice.<\/p>\n

The developers have emphasized in previous updates that the team wants user-generated content to play a large role in this game. A development roadmap said that the team plans to add plugins to support mods and an in-game UGC platform called Canvas. As the developers explained in the FAQ<\/a>, they want the game to be a \u201ctool for creativity\u201d where players can share and discuss their creations on Canvas.<\/p>\n

Inzoi<\/em> might not be the only reason you\u2019ve heard Krafton buzz lately. In August, the company announced that it acquired Hi-Fi Rush<\/em> studio Tango Gameworks<\/a>. The news came as relief to many fans after the beloved games studio was shuttered by Microsoft and ZeniMax Media in May.<\/p>\n
