"inZOI, PUBG to Introduce AI-Enhanced Co-Playable Characters"

CES 2025 has been a whirlwind of innovation, especially in the mobile gaming sector. One of the most talked-about announcements was Krafton's unveiling of the "CPC" on January 8th, which stands for "Co-Playable Character." Unlike traditional NPCs, these AI-generated characters will bring a fresh dynamic to games like PUBG and inZOI.

In inZOI, the "Smart Zoi" will not only exhibit emotional depth but also possess unique personalities, making the simulation experience remarkably lifelike. This advancement promises to enrich player interactions within the game's world.

Meanwhile, PUBG players can look forward to the "PUBG Ally," a CPC designed to adapt strategies alongside players, enhancing the game's dynamics. Whether you find this exciting or slightly unnerving is a matter of personal taste.

Crafted in collaboration with NVIDIA ACE, these Co-Playable Characters will enable real-time conversations with players, adapting to in-game scenarios dynamically. Kangwook Lee, Head of the Deep Learning Division at Krafton, remarked, "*Our collaboration with NVIDIA is a testament to the transformative potential of AI in gaming, and we plan to work closely together to push the boundaries of what is possible.*"
