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

CES 2025 has certainly been a whirlwind of innovation, especially in the mobile gaming sector. One of the standout announcements was the introduction of the AI-generated "CPC" - or "Co-Playable Character" - unveiled by PUBG's Krafton on January 8th. Don't confuse this with a typical NPC; a CPC is a Non-Playable Character enhanced with generative AI, set to revolutionize gameplay in both PUBG and inZOI.

The implementation of this concept in inZOI is particularly intriguing. The "Smart Zoi" will not only possess emotional depth but also unique personalities, promising to make interactions within the simulation more lifelike and engaging.

For PUBG enthusiasts, the "PUBG Ally" will adapt various strategies alongside players, enhancing the dynamics of the game. Whether this feature is exciting or unsettling is up to individual players to decide.

Developed in collaboration with NVIDIA ACE, this innovative concept will enable real-time conversations with players, adapting to the current game scenario. *“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,"* stated Kangwook Lee, Head of the Deep Learning Division at Krafton.
