CES 2025 brought some groundbreaking news to the mobile gaming world, and one of the most talked-about announcements came from PUBG's parent company, Krafton. The new concept of the "CPC"—short for Co-Playable Character—is set to revolutionize gameplay by introducing AI-driven NPCs that can adapt to players in real-time. This innovation was revealed on January 8th and is expected to debut in both PUBG and the upcoming title, inZOI.
For inZOI, the "Smart Zoi" will bring an added layer of realism with its emotional depth and distinct personalities. Players can expect interactions that feel more alive than ever, enhancing the overall immersion of the simulation. Meanwhile, PUBG fans will enjoy the "PUBG Ally," which will dynamically adjust its strategies to complement individual playstyles, making each match uniquely engaging.
Developed in collaboration with NVIDIA ACE, these AI-driven characters promise seamless real-time communication, with scenarios tailored to fit the evolving game state. As Kangwook Lee, Head of the Deep Learning Division at Krafton, stated, *"Our partnership with NVIDIA highlights the immense potential of AI in gaming, and we aim to continue pushing these boundaries."*
