CES 2025 has certainly stirred the tech world over the past few days, and the mobile gaming sector is no exception. One of the most exciting announcements was the introduction of AI-generated "CPCs" - or "Co-Playable Characters." This innovative concept, unveiled by PUBG's Krafton on January 8th, goes beyond the traditional Non-Playable Character (NPC). CPCs are equipped with generative AI, allowing them to adapt and interact uniquely with players in both PUBG and inZOI.
In inZOI, this "Smart Zoi" concept will bring a new level of emotional depth and personality to the game. This enhancement promises to make interactions within the simulation even more lifelike and engaging, revolutionizing the player experience.
Meanwhile, in PUBG, the "PUBG Ally" will adapt to various strategies alongside players, enhancing gameplay dynamics. Whether this feature is seen as exciting or unsettling depends on individual preferences.
Developed in partnership with NVIDIA ACE, these Co-Playable Characters will facilitate real-time conversations with players, adapting to the evolving scenarios within the game. *“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,"* says Kangwook Lee, Head of the Deep Learning Division at Krafton.
