inZOI’s first DLC will be revealed at gamescom, and it’s bringing a new map to the game

It seems like things have been going well in the world of life sim inZOI lately. Just last month, the game received a major update. Though it had initially been targeting May, it ended up being pushed back to June.

The update was generally well received (though Steam reviews took a dip), and publisher Krafton even took that opportunity to put the game on sale for the first time since the start of early access.

The future is looking brighter still, because there’s something on the horizon for players to look forward to.

Krafton announced that inZOI’s first DLC is being revealed at gamescom Opening Night Live on August 19, the Geoff Keighley-hosted show that kicks off the world’s largest gaming convention. The upcoming DLC will bring a sizeable chunk of new content to the game.

For one, there’s going to be a new map that’s split into two islands. The tropical map is called Cahaya, and it’s inspired by Southeast Asia. The DLC will also introduce farming and fishing as new activities, available on the main island.

The second island is more of a resort for players to relax after a hard day’s work. As always, you can expect a host of new customisation features and items to arrive right alongside the new map.

What’s more, if you’re going attend the show in person, you’ll be able to go hands-on with Cahaya, making it the DLC’s first public demo. The bad news is that we still don’t have a solid release date for the upcoming DLC, but we’re hoping the big gamescom blow-out will bring us one.
