Krafton's highly anticipated life simulator, inZOI, has been delayed until March 28, 2025, to ensure a polished and complete gaming experience. This decision, announced by director Hyungjin "Kjun" Kim on the game's Discord server, prioritizes delivering a superior product based on valuable player feedback from earlier demos and playtests.
Kjun emphasized the importance of providing players with the most comprehensive experience possible, likening the development process to raising a child – a lengthy commitment to nurturing a project to its full potential. The positive response to the character creator demo, which saw a peak of 18,657 concurrent players before its removal from Steam on August 25, 2024, further solidified this commitment to quality.
While the delay might disappoint some, Krafton aims to avoid releasing an unfinished product, learning from the cancellation of Life By You earlier this year. This strategic move, however, places inZOI in direct competition with Paralives, another life simulator slated for a 2025 release.
inZOI, initially announced in Korea in 2023, is poised to redefine the life simulation genre with its advanced customization options and realistic visuals. The extended development time suggests a game designed for long-term engagement, promising players countless hours of immersive gameplay, from managing character stress to enjoying virtual karaoke nights with friends. Krafton envisions inZOI not merely as a Sims competitor but as a unique and innovative addition to the life simulation landscape.
