Co-Playable Characters (CPCs): AI-Powered NPCs Coming to PUBG and inZOI
CES 2025 delivered a significant surprise: the unveiling of AI-generated Co-Playable Characters (CPCs), a revolutionary concept from Krafton for PUBG and inZOI. These aren't your average NPCs; they're infused with generative AI, promising a dynamic gaming experience.
inZOI's "Smart Zoi" CPCs will boast unique personalities and emotional depth, enhancing the realism of the simulation. For PUBG, the "PUBG Ally" will adapt its strategies to complement your gameplay, creating a potentially exciting (or unsettling) dynamic.
Developed in collaboration with NVIDIA ACE, CPCs enable real-time conversations and context-aware scenarios. “Our partnership with NVIDIA highlights AI's transformative power in gaming. We're committed to pushing the boundaries of what's possible," stated Kangwook Lee, Head of Krafton's Deep Learning Division.
