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

CES 2025 has certainly stirred the tech world, and mobile gaming is at the forefront of these exciting developments. One of the standout announcements was the introduction of AI-generated "Co-Playable Characters" (CPCs) by PUBG's Krafton on January 8th. Unlike traditional NPCs, these Co-Playable Characters integrate generative AI to offer a dynamic gaming experience, and they're set to revolutionize gameplay in both PUBG and inZOI.

The integration of CPCs into inZOI, under the moniker "Smart Zoi," promises to bring a new level of emotional depth and personality to the simulation game. This advancement will enrich player interactions, making them feel more authentic and engaging.

Meanwhile, in PUBG, the "PUBG Ally" will adapt and strategize alongside players, enhancing the dynamics of the game. Whether this feature is thrilling or unsettling depends on individual perspectives.

Developed in collaboration with NVIDIA ACE, these Co-Playable Characters will facilitate real-time conversations with players, adapting to the ever-changing game 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.
