CES 2025 has been a whirlwind of innovation, particularly in the mobile gaming sector. One of the most exciting revelations was the introduction of the AI-generated "CPC" - or "Co-Playable Character." Unveiled by PUBG's Krafton on January 8th, CPCs are not your typical NPCs. These characters are powered by generative AI, and they're set to revolutionize gameplay in both PUBG and inZOI.
In inZOI, the "Smart Zoi" will bring an unprecedented level of emotional depth and unique personalities to the simulation, making interactions more lifelike than ever before. This new feature promises to enhance the gaming experience by creating more immersive and dynamic scenarios.
Meanwhile, PUBG's "PUBG Ally" will adapt strategies in real-time to complement the player's actions, potentially transforming the dynamics of the game. Whether this development excites or unnerves you, it's clear that it's poised to change how we play.
This groundbreaking concept is crafted in collaboration with NVIDIA ACE, enabling real-time conversations and scenarios that evolve based on the current context. "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," states Kangwook Lee, Head of the Deep Learning Division at Krafton.
