CES 2025 has truly stirred the tech world, and the mobile gaming sector is no exception. One of the most exciting reveals came from PUBG's Krafton on January 8th, introducing the concept of "CPC" - or "Co-Playable Character." Don't mistake this for your average NPC; these Co-Playable Characters are powered by generative AI and are set to revolutionize gameplay in both PUBG and inZOI.
In inZOI, the "Smart Zoi" will bring an unprecedented level of emotional depth and personality to the simulation, making interactions feel incredibly lifelike. For PUBG enthusiasts, the "PUBG Ally" will dynamically adapt strategies to enhance player dynamics, which could be seen as either thrilling or a bit eerie, depending on your perspective.
This innovative concept, developed in collaboration with NVIDIA ACE, will allow for real-time conversations with players, adapting to the ever-changing game scenarios. “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,” stated Kangwook Lee, Head of the Deep Learning Division at Krafton.
