inZOI NPCs Have Their Own Free Will

A "Complete Community Simulation"

Krafton, the developer behind inZOI, has announced that the game's NPCs will be more lifelike and human-like, thanks to NVIDIA's Ace AI technology. This cutting-edge AI will enable the creation of advanced AI citizens who can react to their surroundings and adapt their behavior based on personal experiences.

In a video on NVIDIA GeForce's official YouTube channel titled "NVIDIA ACE | inZOI - Create Simulated Cities with Co-Playable Characters," the trailer showcases how these NPCs, known as Smart Zois, will operate autonomously, bringing the city to life. When activated, these Smart Zois actively participate in city life, making decisions and following their own schedules, such as going to work or meeting friends. Even when not directly interacting with the main player character, Smart Zois can influence each other.

For instance, a Smart Zoi with a considerate personality might assist other Zois by buying them food or providing directions. Meanwhile, an appreciative Smart Zoi could become a street performer's biggest fan, drawing in a crowd. Players can delve into the AI Zoi's thoughts using the Thought system, uncovering the motivations behind their actions. At the end of each day, Smart Zois reflect on their activities, which in turn shapes their future behaviors.

"A collection of these unique Smart Zois guarantees a city that is vibrant and diverse, fostering unpredictable social interactions that create a rich and dynamic story-driven simulation," the video concludes.

inZOI is slated for an Early Access release on March 28th, 2025, on PC via Steam. For more insights into inZOI, explore our comprehensive articles on the game!
