A GTA 6 Rival Emerges
A former producer from GTA is working on a new game that some think could rival GTA 6. This game, coming in the summer, will have a 16-hour narrative like Mafia: Definitive Edition. It will focus on action and interesting missions. It will not be an open-world game. The game is being made with Unreal Engine 5.4. This means it will have great car physics. Each car will feel unique. This game has 8 episodes that will be released later on. The first episode is coming out soon. The studio is also making an open-world multiplayer game set in the same universe, planned for 2026.
Exciting inZOI Updates
inZOI, a realistic simulation game, is set to launch in early access on March 28. The game will be priced at $40, and the character Evan has been included in the development roadmap along with upcoming updates. The developers have announced that all downloadable content (DLC) and updates will be free until the full version is released.
According to the roadmap, several new features are planned for August, including AI build mode, freelancer jobs, ghost play, swimming and pools, and resources for editing cities, among other enhancements. Additionally, updates scheduled for October and December will introduce modifications such as new outfits, improvements to build mode, new furniture, customizable hotkeys, and more. AI characters will also be included and are designed to interact with players.
inZOI is currently available on Steam for wishlisting
