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

New Sims-like gem inZOI, with all of its stunning Unreal Engine 5 visuals, is surprisingly a product of 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 The Sims 4.

With all of its flashy visuals and recent 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 Life by You cancellation and the ongoing lengthy wait for 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.
