The game graphics showcase the Seoul landscape developed based on actual surveys and map photos.

In the seamless open world of "LLL," various types of vehicles, including robots, cars, and helicopters, add to the gameplay. Driving these vehicles, exploring the world, and experiencing diverse content become another source of enjoyment in "LLL."

This time, the action MMORPG "Seven Deadly Sins: Origins" provides a more perfect representation of the world of "Seven Deadly Sins" in an open-world setting. In the game, players need to collect "Star Fragments," explore every corner of the continent, and experience various aspects of the open world.

Simultaneously, players can collect various heroes from "Seven Deadly Sins," "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," and more, experiencing the fun of creating their own combat style.It is reported that, like "Genshin Impact," this game will be available on PC, console, and mobile platforms.

"inZOI": Unreal Engine 5 Version of "The Sims"

"inZOI" is a PC game similar to "The Sims" developed with the Unreal Engine 5.

In the game, the user's avatar, known as "ZOI," is situated in a multi-universe parallel city resembling Seoul. Players nurture their avatar ZOI, build relationships with other ZOIs, and experience a colorful life in the open world.

Players can start with part-time jobs at convenience stores, internet cafes, restaurants, and progress to becoming an entertainment company employee, strategizing idol debuts. Additionally, scenes such as training to become a firefighter or pursuing various activities, like training an idol, performing on the streets, and even getting married and having children, are included.

The game encompasses various activities to develop ZOI's abilities, ranging from relieving stress at internet cafes and KTV to engaging in sports or improving artistic skills through drawing.

Of course, as evident in life simulation games, this game does not allow unlimited skill improvement. Basic needs such as hunger, cleanliness, sleep, restroom use, and vitality constantly influence the character's status, requiring close attention.

Simultaneously, the game includes an indispensable element of housing in the simulation of life.
