InZOI game director Hyungjun Kim has revealed new plans to strengthen communication between Krafton and players as the game progresses through its Early Access phase. This move comes at a critical time, as InZOI has recently seen a decline in its player base following its impressive launch.
Launched at the end of March 2025, InZOI quickly became a hit, selling over one million copies within its first week. The game had generated significant anticipation, with many players eager to see if Krafton could deliver a true competitor to The Sims. However, while early sales were strong, some players found that InZOI’s gameplay lacked depth, a challenge often faced by Early Access titles. Although the Early Access period gives Krafton time to build out the game further, expectations for a richer, more complete experience are growing.
According to a message posted by Hyungjun Kim in InZOI’s official Discord server, the team plans to post regular “thoughts and reflections on the development of InZOI,” covering not only game concerns but also more personal and in-depth topics. Importantly, Krafton intends to engage directly with player feedback, suggestions, and opinions, while also sharing their future development plans.
In addition, Kim confirmed that the team will begin publishing a monthly list of known issues and will host frequent live streams, offering content previews and live Q&A sessions before each update. This approach aims to give players a deeper and more transparent view into InZOI’s ongoing development.
Open Communication: A Strategy to Win Players Back
InZOI’s active player count has recently hit new lows, and this renewed focus on transparent communication could be key to regaining trust and interest from the community. While many players have stepped away for now, it’s clear that much of the audience is simply waiting to see how the game evolves before fully committing again.
For those still invested, the newly released InZOI content roadmap offers an exciting glimpse at what Krafton has planned for the coming months. Although no specific timeframe has been given for the game’s full release, it’s evident that leaving Early Access is still a ways off. In the meantime, players are encouraged to remain patient as Krafton works to expand and deepen the life simulator experience.
