Get ready for more AI characters in Fortnite<\/em>. Developer Epic Games is going to let Fortnite<\/em> creators publish experiences featuring characters with AI-powered voices starting on July 30th, and ahead of that launch, it\u2019s created<\/a> 36 characters with \u201cconsistent voices and personas\u201d that creators can use as NPCs. The characters include Fortnite<\/em> staples like Agent Jonesy, Peely (the banana<\/a>), Fishstick (a walking fish), and Cuddle Team Leader (who wears a pink bear mascot head).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Epic tested the waters of AI characters with last year\u2019s Darth Vader NPC that was powered by James Earl Jones\u2019 voice \u2014 a collaboration that Jones\u2019 estate signed off on<\/a>. Even though players quickly got Vader to swear, something Epic fixed quickly<\/a>, the company announced shortly after debuting Vader that Fortnite<\/em> creators would be able to<\/a> make AI-powered characters of their own.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The voices for these new personas rely on \u201cperformances captured from independent professional actors specifically for use in developer-made islands,\u201d Epic says. \u201cThe actors agreed to have their performances used to develop voice models that create the spoken responses for these LLM-powered Fortnite characters.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Down the line, it sounds like Epic wants to make characters featuring voices from the well-known actors that have appeared in the Fortnite<\/em> universe, but it will have to secure the right approvals to do so. \u201cOur next step is to work with the relevant guilds and character voice actors who have previously worked on Fortnite Battle Royale to explore opportunities to make their original voices available across the Fortnite ecosystem,\u201d the company says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
