inZOI Character Studio Demo Will Appear For Limited Time

For a limited time, Krafton will upload the Character Studio for inZOI onto Steam. It’ll be available from August 21, 2024 (9:00 PM PST/12:00 AM EST) until August 26, 2024 (9:00 PM PST/12:00 AM EST). [Thanks, acottonsock!]

For reference, inZOI is an upcoming life simulator similar to The Sims. The graphics compared to The Sims 4 are far more realistic. According to the Steam page, it will be closer to The Sims 3, as it will also be simulating the community around you. This can create more unpredictability in your gameplay, much like the second and third Sims games. You will be able to edit the neighborhood your character lives in too.

Here is a trailer of the inZOI character creation:

We can see that you can edit the background, versus how you had to use mods to change up the look. There is also an in-studio picture mode in which you can pose your character (Zoi). You’ll choose from templates and parts in order to create a Zoi, compared to the push-and-pull method in The Sims 4.

Much of this article references The Sims, which had a chokehold on the life simulation genre for decades. inZOI and potentially Paralives are on the horizon to offer players some more options though. Paradox Interactive’s Life by You was also a contender, but the company canceled the game in June 2024.

inZOI is in development for the Windows PC and the character studio will be available as a demo from August 21 to August 26, 2024.
