Krafton has revealed an extensive roadmap for Inzoi, detailing significant updates planned throughout 2024. The life simulation game will soon receive modding capabilities, a third city, vehicle customization options, and an enhanced Karma system with crime-related features.
Modding Support Coming in May 2024
In a letter to the community, developer Kjun announced that Inzoi will introduce comprehensive modding features in May 2024. Players will gain the ability to modify in-game data and settings, with official plug-ins for Blender and Maya enabling the creation of custom outfits and furniture.
The modding toolkit will include support for textures, meshes, FX, and MetaSounds. Krafton plans to release tutorial videos and modding UI guidelines to help players navigate these new creative tools. By December 2024, the development team aims to have all core modding features implemented.
Expanding the World with a Third City
Beyond modding capabilities, Inzoi's world will expand with the addition of a third city. This new urban environment will introduce motorcycles and smaller vehicles to the game, along with vehicle personalization options that let players customize their transportation.
What's New for the Karma System?
The Karma system, a core mechanic that shapes how the world responds to player actions, is receiving significant enhancements. The update will introduce crime-related content, allowing Zois (the game's inhabitants) to be caught and jailed for their misdeeds. This expansion adds new consequences and events for Zois who find themselves behind bars.
Addressing Current Issues
Kjun acknowledged that the development team has been focused on fixing several reported issues, including build stability problems, awkward emotional expressions, and limited depth in the current Karma system. They're also working to make emotions and conversations feel more natural throughout the game.
The team emphasized their commitment to improving Inzoi based on player feedback, encouraging community members to share their thoughts in the Discord #inzoi-feedback channel. Additionally, a separate announcement addressing the game's use of AI technology is planned for the near future.
When Can Players Expect These Updates?
The modding features are scheduled for May 2024, with another update planned for August 2024. By December 2024, Krafton aims to have implemented all the core modding features and many of the other announced additions. For players looking forward to the full release, Inzoi is slated to launch on March 28, 2025, for PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
