The Sims Rival inZoi Delayed to March 2025: 'The Extra Love and Care Required to Nurture a Child to Adulthood Is How I See Our Journey'
Life simulation game inZoi is delayed to March 28, 2025, its producer and director has announced.
The Sims competitor from PUBG company Krafton was set to launch in early access form on PC later in 2024, but that became increasingly unlikely with no release date announced and the year end fast approaching — despite the developer insisting it was still on track only last month.
Inzoi is "a life simulation game where players become gods within the game, allowing them to change everything as they wish and experience endless new stories in various forms of life." This was enough to capture the attention of disgruntled The Sims fans, with many claiming they'll switch to Inzoi for good once it's fully released. The recently released character creator demo saw life sim fans recreate real people and pop culture characters — check out some of the best attempts in the slideshow of images below.
In a letter to the game’s community, producer and director Hyungjun “Kjun” Kim apologized to fans for the delay, citing “a commitment to delivering the experience fans expect and deserve for a strong foundation of inZOI, following overwhelming positive feedback from the community over the past few months.”
The letter in full is below:
In IGN's preview if Inzoi, we said: "The game’s world is extremely beautiful but somewhat empty in motion, permeated by a lack of grounding lore."
