Life simulator inZOI is heading to Early Access. In a message on the game’s Discord server on Thursday, director and producer Hyungjun “Kjun” Kim announced that inZOI Early Access will launch on March 28, 2025.
The new date moves the game out of the original late-2024 Early Access timeline.
Kim started his message by thanking players for taking part in the Character Studio demo over the summer, and saying that the reception was more than he or the team could’ve expected.
“Seeing so much engagement brought us immense happiness, and it was inspiring to see how deeply people connected with inZOI,” he said.
When the Character Studio was available, over 19,000 concurrent players created over 100,000 characters. With that response and feedback, it gave Kim and the studio the insight needed to provide players with “the most complete experience possible”.
“It’s said that among primates, raising a human child to adulthood takes the longest time because humans must be prepared to endure and adapt to their ever-changing surroundings,” Kim said. “The extra love and care required to nurture a child to adulthood is how I see our journey with inZOI—a game that we will be nurturing together from its Early Access birth.
“This change in our release date reflects our commitment to building a stronger foundation for inZOI, so we can embark on this journey in the best way possible.”
Kim closed by saying the team’s goal is to “deliver an experience fans can enjoy for a long time to come”.
Recently, Insider Gaming sat down with Kim to talk about inZOI about the game’s development, his goals, and more. Stay tuned for that in the near future.
