It has been our understanding that upcoming life sim Inzoi will release in early access this year, but there hasn't been much in the way of hard confirmation, and unless the earth's orbit slows down considerably, 2024 is nearly over. At a game demonstration this week, however, a Krafton representative confirmed to PC Gamer that the plan is still to release Inzoi in early access before the year is out.
The life sim genre is in a liminal sort of stage at the moment. It is obvious to everyone that The Sims 4 shouldn't be the only game in town, and that the genre's huge audience is ready for new ideas, but actually getting a Sims successor or competitor out the door has proved complicated. Paradox life sim Life by You was canceled right before its planned early access launch, there's uncertainty over what the next Sims game will really be (it's not The Sims 5), and Paralives isn't expected until sometime next year.
