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

CES 2025 has certainly made waves in the tech world over the past few days, and the mobile gaming industry is no exception. One of the most exciting announcements came from PUBG's Krafton on January 8th, introducing the AI-generated "CPC" - or "Co-Playable Character." Don't confuse this with a typical NPC; a CPC is a Non-Playable Character powered by generative AI, set to revolutionize gameplay in both PUBG and inZOI.

This innovative concept will be intriguing to see in action in inZOI, where the "Smart Zoi" will boast emotional depth and unique personalities, enhancing the realism of interactions within the upcoming simulation game. Meanwhile, PUBG's "PUBG Ally" will adapt strategies alongside players, promising to elevate the dynamics of the game - whether you find this thrilling or slightly unsettling is up to you.

Developed in collaboration with NVIDIA ACE, this new feature will also enable real-time conversations with players, with scenarios that evolve based on the current context. *“Our collaboration with NVIDIA showcases the transformative power of AI in gaming, and we are committed to pushing the boundaries of what's possible,”* stated Kangwook Lee, Head of the Deep Learning Division at Krafton.
