inZOI's NPCs will leverage NVIDIA ACE AI technology for unprecedented realism and human-like interactions, enhancing gameplay immersion. This article delves into NVIDIA ACE and its impact on the game.

A Fully Simulated Community

Krafton, inZOI's developer, utilizes NVIDIA's ACE AI to create lifelike NPCs, known as Smart Zois. These AI citizens dynamically react to their environment, shaping their behavior based on personal experiences.

An NVIDIA GeForce YouTube video, "NVIDIA ACE | inZOI - Create Simulated Cities with Co-Playable Characters," showcases Smart Zois' autonomous actions, breathing life into the city. When enabled, Smart Zois independently make decisions, follow schedules (work, socializing, etc.), and influence each other, even without direct player interaction.

For instance, a kind Smart Zoi might assist others, providing food or directions. Conversely, an appreciative Zoi could actively promote a street performer, attracting a crowd. Players can use the in-game "Thought" system to understand the NPCs' motivations. Daily self-reflection by each Smart Zoi further shapes their future actions.

The video concludes that the diverse Smart Zois create a vibrant, unpredictable city, resulting in a rich, dynamic, and story-driven simulation.

inZOI launches in Early Access on March 28th, 2025, on Steam (PC). For more inZOI details, explore our other game-related articles.
