Revolutionizing Gaming: AI-Powered Co-Playable Characters Arrive in PUBG and inZOI
CES 2025 delivered a seismic shift in the tech world, and mobile gaming is no exception. Krafton, the creators of PUBG, unveiled a groundbreaking concept on January 8th: the AI-generated Co-Playable Character (CPC). This isn't your average NPC; it's a Non-Playable Character powered by generative AI, set to appear in both PUBG and inZOI.
inZOI's implementation of this "Smart Zoi" promises a new level of realism. These AI companions will possess unique personalities and emotional depth, creating more immersive and lifelike interactions within the simulation.
PUBG's "PUBG Ally" will dynamically adapt its strategies to complement your gameplay, enhancing player dynamics in exciting (or perhaps slightly unsettling) ways.
Developed in collaboration with NVIDIA ACE, CPCs will engage in real-time conversations, adapting their responses to the evolving game situation. “Our partnership with NVIDIA showcases the transformative power of AI in gaming. We're committed to pushing the boundaries of what's possible,” stated Kangwook Lee, Head of Krafton's Deep Learning Division.
