The developers of InZoi have officially delayed the game’s first major update, which was initially expected to drop in late May 2025. The update—focused on enhancing Zois’ emotional responses and introducing an official modding toolkit—will now arrive in mid-June, according to an announcement on the InZoi Steam community page.
🛠️ Focus on Polish and Performance
InZOI Studio stated that while the new features were nearly ready, additional development time was required to ensure a more polished experience. “We decided to prioritize quality over speed,” the team shared. They noted that the updated emotional system introduced some unintended side effects during testing, which need further refinement before going live.
🧠 What’s Coming in the Update?
This first major patch is shaping up to be a game-changer for InZoi, with two standout features:
-
Enhanced Emotions System: Zois will respond to their environment and interactions with greater emotional depth, making gameplay more immersive.
-
Modding Toolkit Integration: Players will soon be able to upload and install mods via CurseForge, using an in-game browser for seamless integration.
These additions have been highly anticipated by the InZoi community and are expected to add significant replayability and customization options.
📈 A Sim Sensation
Announced in 2023 and launched in early access in 2025, InZoi has quickly established itself as a major player in the life simulation genre. Developed by InZoi Studio and published by Krafton, the game draws heavy inspiration from The Sims series. It gives players the freedom to shape the lives of characters known as Zois in a dynamic, customizable world.
Since its release, InZoi has sold over 1 million copies and achieved a peak player count of 87,377, reflecting strong demand and positive early reception.
🔮 Will the Delay Impact Future Updates?
While the team has not confirmed whether this delay will impact the broader development roadmap, the community remains optimistic. Many players have voiced appreciation for the studio’s transparency and commitment to quality.
“Delays are fine if it means we get a better game,” one user commented on Reddit. “I’m especially excited for mod support!”
Although the delay may disappoint fans who were eagerly awaiting the late-May update, it appears to be a wise decision by the developers to ensure a more stable and satisfying player experience. With modding support and improved emotional interactions on the way, June is shaping up to be a big month for InZoi fans.
