Krafton's new game blurs lines between reality and virtual life
Krafton, the renowned video game developer behind PUBG, has unveiled a new trailer for its upcoming life-simulation game, InZoi. The trailer was showcased at Gamescom and offers a glimpse into the diverse experiences players can expect in the game. From joyous occasions to challenging situations, InZoi aims to encapsulate the full spectrum of human experience, blurring the lines between reality and virtual life.
'InZoi' trailer offers a glimpse into game's universe
The InZoi trailer begins with a cat ascending an invisible staircase and activating a device that opens up its own world. Within this universe, players can engage in various social interactions such as chatting with friends on the street, exchanging high-fives, and giving gifts. The game also features significant life events like weddings and parenting.
'InZoi' also explores darker aspects of life
InZoi doesn't shy away from depicting the darker side of life. The trailer shows scenes of conflict, with characters slapping each other and angrily discarding trash. It also portrays a car accident where both drivers blame each other, and a novice cook accidentally starting a massive fire in her home. These elements add a layer of realism to the game's narrative.
Krafton will let gamers create their own characters
While InZoi's official release date is yet to be announced, Krafton has revealed plans to launch the InZoi: Character Studio tool on Steam from August 21-26. This tool will allow players to create their own characters using detailed customization options. These characters can then be used once InZoi becomes available for early access. The possibility of living a virtual life, complete with its joys and sorrows, has generated significant buzz.
