CES 2025 delivered some major mobile gaming news, with one of the biggest announcements being the AI-powered "Co-Playable Character" (CPC) unveiled by Krafton for PUBG on January 8th. This isn't your average NPC; it's a Non-Playable Character infused with generative AI, and it's coming to both PUBG and inZOI.
inZOI's implementation, dubbed "Smart Zoi," promises a unique experience. These AI companions will possess distinct personalities and emotional depth, creating more realistic and engaging interactions within the simulation.
In PUBG, the "PUBG Ally" will dynamically adapt its strategies to enhance gameplay, offering a potentially exciting (or perhaps slightly unnerving) new dimension to the battle royale experience.
Developed in partnership with NVIDIA ACE, this innovative technology will enable real-time conversations and scenarios that adapt to the current game situation. Kangwook Lee, Head of the Deep Learning Division at Krafton, stated, *"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."*
