Hyungjun "Kjun" Kim, game director of upcoming life sim Inzoi, is humble about making a game in such a complicated genre. He recently described creating a game of this scale as "reckless", and in a global showcase revealing Inzoi's pricing and roadmap, he said that, "as a developer I think Inzoi still has a lot to improve on."

Which is why, he explained via an official translator, it'll launch in early access for $40 and "until there's a full launch all updates and DLCs will be provided for free."

Kjun then revealed Inzoi's roadmap for the rest of the year, with four updates planned over the course of 2025. "Now in order for this promise to mean anything," he said, "development has to continue consistently and we are committed to continuing the development and committing to this roadmap."

In addition to these major updates, the plan is to release new outfits and furniture every three months. "This is not finalized though," Kjun said. "We will continue to communicate with you, actively listening to your requests and incorporating your feedback."

Kjun also explained that, as of the May update, going to the gym will change your Zoi's body shape, while the August update will include a "cat-themed city" to tie into International Cat Day on August 8. Here's the roadmap.

Build mode improvements and new furniture

Inzoi will be available on Steam from March 28.

They might increase it later to 49.99, still great price. The new building mode is crazy cool

He’s saying it weird but what they mean is that they will update the game in early access for free, which is what every EA game should be doing anyway. Paid expansions after EA haven’t been ruled out.

Okay so you can read the title with good faith even tho I initially thought otherwise. A lot of the updates that are in their roadmap for their early access are pretty much the paid DLCs that you get from Sims. It’s 40$ for early access but they haven’t explicitly said that they aren’t gonna nickel and dime ppl like Sims and EA does, so that remains to be seen after 1.0
