InZoi, the highly anticipated Sims-like game from developer Krafton, has been met with excitement from life simulation fans due to its stunning visuals and promise of a complete community simulation experience. While the game was initially set to launch in Q4 of this year, Krafton has decided to postpone the release to March 28th next year to ensure a stronger foundation for the game.
The decision to delay the release was made after reviewing feedback and data from play tests, with the goal of improving areas that need attention and creating a game that truly captures the essence of life simulation. In a message announcing the news, InZoi director Hyungjun “Kjun” Kim emphasized the importance of nurturing the game like raising a child, with the extra love and care needed to ensure its success.
Despite the delay, players got a glimpse of InZoi in August when Krafton released a character creator demo on Steam. The demo received positive feedback for its stunning visuals and deep customization options, including inclusive gender and sexuality choices. This early look at the game generated excitement among players eagerly awaiting its full release next year.
InZoi joins a growing list of Sims-like games, including Paradox Interactive’s cancelled Life by You and the upcoming Paralives, scheduled to launch into early access next year. For those looking for a more retro experience, Tiny Life on Steam offers a charmingly simple yet robust life simulation game to enjoy.
Overall, the decision to delay the release of InZoi is a testament to Krafton’s dedication to delivering a high-quality and immersive life simulation experience for players. By taking the time to strengthen the game’s foundation, Krafton aims to ensure that InZoi meets the expectations of fans and provides an engaging and memorable gameplay experience. Stay tuned for more updates as the release date approaches and get ready to embark on the journey of nurturing InZoi together when it finally launches next year.
