CES 2025 has truly stirred the tech world, and mobile gaming is at the forefront of these exciting developments. One of the most talked-about announcements was the unveiling of the AI-generated "CPC" - or "Co-Playable Character" - by PUBG's Krafton on January 8th. Don't mistake it for just another NPC; a CPC is a Non-Playable Character powered by generative AI, set to revolutionize gameplay in both PUBG and inZOI.
The integration of CPCs in inZOI, dubbed "Smart Zoi," promises to add a new layer of emotional depth and unique personalities to the simulation, making interactions more lifelike and engaging. Meanwhile, in PUBG, the "PUBG Ally" will dynamically adapt strategies alongside players, enhancing the dynamics of the game - whether you find this thrilling or unsettling is up to you.
Developed in collaboration with NVIDIA ACE, this innovative feature will also enable real-time conversations with players, with 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,"* stated Kangwook Lee, Head of the Deep Learning Division at Krafton.
