Inzoi made its long-awaited debut in March, but your Zois still have a whole fantasy lifetime ahead of them. Since the life sim launched in early access, there's a whole Inzoi roadmap of future features that the developer plans to add over the course of the next year.
Inzoi Studio hasn't actually said how long Inzoi will be in early access, and it sounds like it doesn't know. Player expectations are colliding with reality in real time and it will be a while before the dust settles enough for Krafton to say how much stands between the current version of Inzoi and what it envisions as the full release.
Regardless of how many actual years stand between Inzoi early access and 1.0, there are a lot of new features planned. Just before launch, game director Hyungjun "Kjun" Kim showed off the Inzoi roadmap for 2025 for us to dissect, and he continues to share progress through Kjun's Letter blog updates.

This is the updated version of the Inzoi roadmap for 2025. Originally shared during the Inzoi Global Showcase, the roadmap saw additional goals and features added based on fan feedback and the team's progress. You'll notice that the earlier updates are a lot more specific and fleshed out than the later ones, which isn't too surprising.
Broadly, Inzoi Studio lists "Create A Zoi improvements" and "Build Mode improvements" in multiple updates. Those aren't very clear goals, but we've seen a hint in how some will take shape as Kjun mentions changes to the Karma system introducing consequences for your Zoi's misdeeds through new crime and jail events.
One thing you won't spot in the current roadmap is any plan for Inzoi multiplayer features. Based on comments from Kjun, it's still something that the studio is interested in but is probably at the concept phase and not actively being developed. Basically, the studio is waiting to hear what players really want from multiplayer before deciding how much is feasible to develop.
Inzoi game update 1
Inzoi Update 1
Inzoi Update 1 is planned for the end of May but we don't know the exact date yet. Here's what Inzoi Studio has said is going to be included:
- Modding kit with modeling plug-ins
- Weight/muscle changes
- Cheat codes
- Relationship improvements
- Adoption system
- Build Mode improvements
- New furniture
- Create A Zoi improvements
- Outfit updates
The real big ticket that a lot of players are going to be curious about is the addition of modding tools in the May update. We're still not sure just how advanced Inzoi modding will be but there are a ton of staple Sims series mods that everyone's already talking about ("WickedZoi," I see you).
Kjun specified that plugins for 3D modelling applications Maya and Blender are both going to be ready, and there's CurseForge integration and an Unreal project manager plugin on the way. The Modkit also provides support for pulling Inzoi assets, like meshes and Json data files, but they won't all be available in the May patch. And since the modkit is such a hefty undertaking with its own long list of changes, Inzoi Studio outlined a quick list of mod-related support planned for May:
- Mod project manager plugin
- Maya and Blender plugins
- Share to CurseForge integration
- Create a Zoi (Sets)
- Build Mode (Furniture)
- Game data (Data editor, data guide document)
- Mod UI changes
- Mod tutorial videos
This update will add a list of cheat codes that we can use, which Inzoi doesn't have right now. Kjun also mentioned that Zoi body types will change based on their workout routines in this update. Though the adoption system wasn't elaborated on, it will presumably be an alternative to pregnancy for adding a baby Zoi to a family.
Other additions for Update 1 are a little vague, like "relationship improvements" and "outfit updates," so we'll just have to wait and see how much is being added to those areas when it gets here.
