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

If you've been following the buzz around mobile gaming, you'll know that CES 2025 brought some game-changing announcements. Among them is the introduction of the AI-generated "CPC"—a groundbreaking concept that PUBG's Krafton teased earlier this year. Short for "Co-Playable Character," this isn’t your average NPC. Instead, it’s a dynamic, AI-powered companion designed to adapt seamlessly to each player's style and preferences.

PUBG is set to roll out its version, the "PUBG Ally," which will evolve strategies dynamically to enhance player engagement. Meanwhile, inZOI is introducing the "Smart Zoi," an NPC that not only adapts to gameplay but also brings emotional depth and personality to interactions. This innovation promises to create a more immersive and lifelike experience for players.

The technology behind this concept is powered by NVIDIA ACE, allowing real-time dialogue and scenario-based responses tailored to individual circumstances. According to Kangwook Lee, Head of Krafton’s Deep Learning Division, "Our collaboration with NVIDIA highlights the immense potential of AI in revolutionizing gaming, and we’re excited to explore further possibilities."
