Introduction

The inZOI team has shared another weekly development update, continuing their ongoing focus on refining core gameplay fundamentals while gradually introducing new decorative and customization content.

As previously mentioned, releasing large feature bundles all at once caused stability issues in the past. To avoid this, upcoming content will be delivered incrementally across multiple updates.

📅 Next patch release:
Monday, February 12 at 15:00 (KST)

The update will include new outfits, Build Mode assets, bug fixes, and quality-of-life improvements.
