CES 2025 has certainly stirred excitement in the tech world, and the mobile gaming sector is no exception. One of the standout announcements came from PUBG's Krafton on January 8th, introducing the AI-generated "CPC" - which stands for "Co-Playable Character." Unlike traditional NPCs, these Co-Playable Characters leverage generative AI, and they're set to enhance 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, promising interactions that feel remarkably lifelike. For PUBG, the "PUBG Ally" will dynamically adapt strategies alongside players, enhancing team dynamics in ways that could be seen as either exciting or slightly eerie, depending on your perspective.
Developed in collaboration with NVIDIA ACE, these Co-Playable Characters will also engage in real-time conversations with players, adapting to the evolving scenarios within the game. “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.
