11 Overview

33 Basements are a planned Build Mode feature for inZOI scheduled for the Q4 2026 (October to December) timeframe per the 2026 Roadmap Part 1 letter. The feature will introduce underground floor construction, letting players build below ground level.

55 As of April 25, 2026, Basements have not shipped on the live build (v0.7.5). The current building system supports above-ground floors with adjustable foundation height, but does not allow constructing below ground level. The Q4 2026 update will add basement support as a complementary expansion to the existing multi-story building tools.
