After 24 years of developing MMOs, inZOI's director "got sick of it" and wanted to try his hand at making a worthy Sims 4 rival
And I'm so glad he did

New Sims-like gem inZOI, with all of its stunning Unreal Engine 5 visuals, is surprisingly a product of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:PUBG developer Krafton - and according to the director, it was born from a desire to move away from MMOs and onto a project that could rival 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Sims 4.
With all of its flashy visuals and recent 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:character creator demo, it's no wonder that inZOI has blown sim fans away already - after all, there hasn't been a decent competitor to EA's iconic Sims series in a hot minute. The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Life by You cancellation and the ongoing lengthy wait for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Paralives speaks to this. Every time a promising Sims-like project pops up,💧 it either fails or remains in development for what feels like forever.
, Kim was ready to move on from MMOs to challenging EA with a sim of his own. "I have 24 years of game development under my belt and I've been working on MMORPGs for the longest time."
According to the mastermind behind online Korean hits like Aion and Elyon, he simply "got sick of it" - over two decades of MMOs will do that to you, I imagine. One fateful day during which his son asked him a simple que💃stion changed everything, however, inj꧟ecting his mind with two thoughts: Why has there never been a successful Sims competitor to rival EA's beloved series of more than 20 years, and could he try his hand at making one?
That's where inZOI comes in - the potential Sims challenger with groundbreaking visuals, immersive gameplay, and features never seen in games of the genre before like a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:"3D print" mechanic that allows players to turn real-life photos into in-game items. As a longtime Sims stan myself, I can't wait to see how inZOI's release goes later this year. I've clocked a good few hours into the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:character creator and am champing at the bit for more.
While you wait for inZOI, here are 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:10 games like The Sims 4 to check out right now.
