Welcome to another session of In Other News, a roundup of what has been going on with games you may enjoy if you play The Sims.
Here’s what you should know today and the games you should be paying attention to.
InZoi
These are going to be very interesting days for those looking forward to learning more about the upcoming life simulator by Korean developer Krafton. InZoi is confirmed to be presented during next week’s Gamescom—an important conference for the gaming industry held in Germany—and attendees will get to play the game. This Saturday, on August 17th, several content creators will also share their first impressions of the game after receiving an early copy. And last but not least, Krafton announced the release on Steam of InZoi: Character Studio, a free demo of their character creation tools. It will only be available for five days, from August 21st until the 26th, but all our creations will be saved for future use. Oh, and speaking of Steam, you can finally wishlist InZoi. The release date, however, is still unknown.
Big News! We are thrilled to introduce inZOI’s character customization feature, ‘inZOI: Character Studio’ where you can edit and elevate the appearance of your Zois.
It will be available exclusively on Steam for just five days, from August 21st at 4:00 AM to August 26th at… pic.twitter.com/SKkVmwkJpJ

Paralives
The much-anticipated indie life simulator continues to share details about its development process. They just released a blog post about sound design, which also gives us a glimpse of what a neighborhood looks like (notice how close the houses are to each other? *Chef’s kiss*). They have also shared how the Paras’ aging process looks like.

Tiny Glade
The wholesome castle builder has a release date: September 23rd. Their free demo is also available again for download on Steam, and you can wishlist the game on that very same link.
Planet Coaster 2
And while we’re talking about wishlisting games, the upcoming Frontier park builder and management simulator can also be wishlisted on a variety of platforms. Planet Coaster 2 will also be availble to be played for the first time on Gamescom next week, so we’ll probably start reading reviews soon.
