inZOI Pricing and Details Revealed at Global Showcase

KRAFTON, Inc. (CEO CH Kim) revealed new details about its upcoming life simulation game, inZOI, during the inZOI Global Showcase on March 18, 2025.

Players from around the world joined the online event, which was staged in the “AR Library” setting drawn from the world of inZOI. At the showcase, inZOI Studio CEO and inZOI Producer and Director Hyungjun ‘Kjun’ Kim presented insights into the game’s development background and the team behind it. Kjun engaged with the participants and highlighted that “realism” is the main goal of inZOI’s development, as it strives to create a realistic experience across the game’s simulation, settings, and art.

The Early Access version of inZOI includes an abundance of story elements with over 250 customization options. The game will also provide several AI-powered creative tools, including 3D Printer, Video to Motion, and Text to Image.

In addition, inZOI offers a wide range of creative systems that enable players to create outfits and furniture, customize accessories, and access features such as Facial Capture, Motion Capture, Photo Studio, Edit City, and the Event System. inZOI will support a sales system and crowd management for an enhanced gameplay experience, with modding and new cities coming to the game in future updates.

During Early Access, inZOI will be available at a price of $39.99. Further, all updates and DLC for inZOI will be free with purchase of the game until full release. As inZOI’s development roadmap rolls out over time, upcoming content will bring freelance jobs, ghost play, a Southeast Asian-inspired cat island “Kucingku,” swimming pools and the ability to swim, a family tree, new professions, and more.

Kjun said, “I hope that players will be able to experience things that they can’t in real life, feel a sense of control over life itself, and have the opportunity to look at life from a slight distance.” He added, “It has been a rough ride and there may still be some shortcomings, but we are committed to paying close attention to feedback from our community as we continue to improve the game towards its full release as soon as possible.”

The full global showcase can be viewed on inZOI’s official YouTube channel here.

Razer Huntsman V3 Pro Mini White Edition Out Now

The Razer Huntsman V3 Pro Mini White Edition is a combination of performance and style. Engineered with cutting-edge Razer Analog Optical Switches Gen-2, it delivers lightning-fast actuation and unmatched responsiveness, ensuring every keystroke is as flawless as its design. This keyboard sets a new standard for both form and function. 

Huntsman V3 Pro Mini – White Edition 

Quick onboard adjustment modes

By hitting the appropriate key combination, gamers can access quick onboard adjustments on-the-fly to fine-tune actuation point and Rapid Trigger settings instantly, with real-time feedback displayed via a number row. Similarly, Razer Snap Tap, which is disabled by default, can easily be toggled with a key combination since this feature is built into the keyboard. Gamers can unlock even deeper customization through Razer Synapse and save their custom settings directly to multiple profile slots on the keyboard. 

Razer Huntsman V3 Pro Mini White Edition

Built for gamers who seek both portability and mouse maneuvering space, the Huntsman V3 Pro Mini White Edition packs a compact design without sacrifice. The Dual-purpose Modifier Keys at the bottom-right of the keyboard double as arrow keys when tapped, eliminating the need for extra keys. Perfect for home setups, tournaments and gaming on-the-go.  

Razer™ Analog Optical Switches Gen-2 vs Hall Effect switches 

Razer™ Analog Optical Switches Gen-2

Razer™ Analog Optical Switches Gen-2 uses light for actuation that ensures precise and reliable performance in any environment. Hall Effect switches use magnetic fields detected by sensors on the circuit board to detect the actuation point. However, Hall Effect switches can be affected by external magnetic interference and temperature fluctuations, potentially impacting consistency. 

While both offers analog functionality to a keyboard, Esports Pro Players worldwide favor Razer Analog Optical Switches Gen-2 for its precision and reliability, with the Huntsman V3 Pro line of keyboards as the #1 Keyboard used on ProSettings.net (as of December 2024). 

The Distinction Between Light and Magnetism 

Graph illustrating linearity of Analog Optical switches (in green) vs Hall Effect switches (in orange)

Analog Optical switches stand to have an advantage of precision as there is a far more consistent linearity across the full key travel vs switches that rely on magnetic field. For Hall Effect switches, due to the nature of magnets, there will be a level of inconsistency and absence of linearity across the travel range, as shown in the graph above. Gamers can be assured that every switch in every Huntsman V3 Pro line keyboard have the utmost precision and consistency. 

Engineered for peak performance and precision, the Huntsman V3 Pro line redefines gaming with Analog Optical switches. Every switch is factory-calibrated for accuracy and are immune to external interference so gamers can enjoy true analog input, adjustable actuation, and Rapid Trigger Mode. Read more here.

Sengoku Dynasty Mono No Aware Update Trailer

Development Team Superkami and Publisher Toplitz Productions are excited to announce the release of the new update named ‘Mono No Aware’ for their open world life-sim city builder mix Sengoku Dynasty. This marks the next milestone on the post-release roadmap for the feudal adventure, where you rise from survivor to powerful Daimyo and take on conquering the extensive game world either alone or with up to four participants in cooperative multiplayer.

Veterans and newcomers alike will appreciate the improvements made with the current update, that roughly translates as ‘appreciation of life’ regardless of their preferred playstyle. With the addition of ‘Personal Quests’, the already extensive list of activities in Sengoku Dynasty gets even longer. These tasks are procedurally distributed among all your villagers and other friendly NPCs. In future updates, this system will be extended with more types of quests and unique NPCs to distribute them.

Yet another big addition is the enhancement of the Dynasty feature: while you were able to raise a family before, now you can actually start playing as your descendant and take on the task of forging a renowned dynasty. Your progeny will inherit your inventory and dynasty level, but will start with an empty perk tree, some XP for initial unlocks, and a powerful, inheritable background perk. Continue the lineage and you might be able to collect them all.

The survival aspect has also been enhanced: With the new statuses that impact your health and can even kill you, you have to adapt to your environment more than ever. Raining cats and dogs? Seek shelter under a protective roof or a rock formation so you don’t get soaking wet. In winter you will appreciate the warmth of a campfire that will keep you from freezing to death. Numerous other improvements include further performance optimization, bugfixes and much more. The full patch notes can be found on Steam, where you can also follow the game so you don’t miss any news or updates.

Of course all released as well as upcoming updates will be integrated in the Sengoku Dynasty console versions currently in development and slated for a release later this year. The anticipated release date for those will be announced in the coming weeks.

To celebrate the release of the update, Sengoku Dynasty is discounted for a whopping 30 % on Steam. For more details, players can visit the game’s official Steam page.
