As far as Sims competitors go, inZOI is doing something few others are managing to achieve: actually release. Krafton’s take on the life simulator genre is the closest we’ve come to anything on the size and scope of EA’s series, and the first game that could very well give The Sims a run for its money.
Despite that, inZOI director Hyungjun ‘Kjun’ Kim doesn’t view his game as competition. “We see inZOI not as a competitor to The Sims, but rather as another option that fans of this genre can enjoy,” he tells me. “We have great respect for the legacy The Sims has built over the years, since we know that reaching that much depth in such a short period of time is no easy task.”
