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

CES 2025 has certainly stirred the tech world, and mobile gaming is no exception. One of the most exciting announcements came from PUBG's Krafton on January 8th, unveiling a groundbreaking AI-driven concept: the "CPC" or Co-Playable Character. Unlike traditional NPCs, CPCs are powered by generative AI, and they're set to revolutionize gameplay in both PUBG and inZOI.

The implementation of this innovation in inZOI is particularly intriguing. The "Smart Zoi" will not only have emotional depth but also unique personalities, enhancing the realism of interactions within the simulation. This development promises to bring a new level of immersion to players.

For PUBG enthusiasts, the introduction of the "PUBG Ally" means dynamic gameplay where the AI adapts strategies in real-time to complement your playstyle. Whether this feature excites or unnerves you, it's undeniable that it adds a new layer of depth to the gaming experience.

Crafted in partnership with NVIDIA ACE, this innovative concept will enable real-time conversations with players, adapting to current 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,"* says Kangwook Lee, Head of the Deep Learning Division at Krafton.
