inZOI Cities and Game World Overview

Welcome to the expansive and meticulously crafted world of inZOI! As a next-generation life simulation, inZOI distinguishes itself with highly realistic environments powered by Unreal Engine 5. Instead of a single, sprawling map, the game presents players with multiple distinct Cities, each designed as a parallel universe inspired by real-world locations, offering unique atmospheres, cultures, career paths, and gameplay opportunities.

As a player, you step into the role of an intern at AR COMPANY, tasked with observing and guiding the lives of the virtual inhabitants known as Zois within these diverse urban landscapes. Choosing where your Zois live is a significant decision that shapes their experiences and the stories you can tell.

Which cities can be added to inZOI - Speculation

Early demos and the world map shown in the game reveal names for several other potential future cities. While Krafton has not confirmed details, we can speculate on what these locations might offer based on their names and the need for diverse gameplay experiences. Please note: The following is purely speculative.

City Name (Upcoming)	Potential Inspiration(s)	Speculated Vibe/Theme	Possible Unique Features/Careers
Winiber	European (UK - Winchester? Germany - Berlin? Wine Region?)	Historic European city, possibly academic or with industrial elements, maybe vineyards.	University/Research careers, Historian, Museum Curator, Artisan/Craftsperson, Vintner? Historic architecture, unique festivals.
Haegang	Coastal South Korea (Busan? Incheon?)	Bustling port city, fishing/maritime culture, mix of industrial and scenic coastlines.	Fisherman, Shipbuilder, Port Authority Worker, Seafood Market Vendor/Chef, Maritime Researcher? Fish markets, coastal temples.
Recalleta	Recoleta, Buenos Aires, Argentina	Elegant, sophisticated, European (Parisian) architecture, focus on arts and culture.	Architect (Classical), Tango Dancer/Instructor, Antique Dealer, Fine Artist, Diplomat? Grand plazas, tango clubs, ornate cemetery.

Disclaimer: The potential inspirations, vibes, features, and careers listed above for Winiber, Haegang, Recalleta, Brusimo, and Goldenfield are entirely speculative based on names and the assumption that Krafton aims for diverse settings. Actual game content may differ significantly.

City Interaction and Customization

While you cannot build a city entirely from scratch due to technical limitations, inZOI offers significant customization options for existing cities:

Editing City Appearance & Environment

Accessed via the Map ([M] Key) > City Appearance tab:

• Weather & Seasons: Temporarily change the weather (Sunny, Cloudy, Rainy, Snowy) and its intensity. Dowon experiences four seasons naturally, while Bliss Bay is typically warm.
• Flora: Change the dominant types of trees and grass/plants city-wide.
• Decorations & Effects: Add large-scale decorations (like giant balloons) and special effects (like fireworks, butterflies, drones).
• Animals: Choose up to three types of animals (cats, dogs, pandas, deer, etc.) to populate public spaces and adjust their density.
• Billboards: Upload your own images or videos (via YouTube links) to display on in-game billboards.
• Cleanliness: Adjust the overall environmental cleanliness, ranging from pristine to run-down and polluted.

Managing City Stability & Population

Accessed via the Map ([M] Key) > Manage Zois tab > Manage City:

• Stability Sliders: Adjust parameters like relationship success rates (Friendship, Romance, Business, Family), emotional positivity/negativity, civic consciousness, city safety, fire rates, appliance durability, health levels, population caps, and more. These changes influence the autonomous behavior and overall dynamics of the city's Zois.
• Karma Report: Monitor the overall Karma level of the city and intervene with individual Zois. See Karma System Explained

Editing Public Lots

Certain community lots are marked as "(Editable)". You can enter a limited Build Mode for these streets or lots (Edit Streets/Public Property button in the lower-right) to place furniture and objects, allowing you to customize public spaces like parks or plazas.

Moving Between Cities

• Current Status: In the initial Early Access launch, Zois cannot move between different cities. The city chosen at the start of the game is where that family resides.
• Future Update: The ability for families to relocate from one city to another is planned for the December 2025 update. This will open up possibilities for Zois to experience life in different environments without starting a new game.

The world of inZOI is designed as a collection of detailed, distinct locales, each offering a unique flavor of life simulation. With two diverse cities available at launch and more planned, players have a growing canvas to create endless stories and explore varied lifestyles.
