It’s been one year since we released inZOI in Early Access.

Since then, we’ve achieved a great deal, but what we’re most proud of is staying true to the goal we set from the beginning: communicating closely with our players to develop the game together.

Even with this one-year anniversary update, rather than introducing many new features, our focus remains on making the game better, delivering more improvements than ever as we celebrate a humbling milestone for inZOI.

We sincerely thank you for a wonderful year of collaboration, and we look forward to many more as we continue this journey together.
