Epic Games launches AI conversations tool for Fortnite creators to build dynamic NPCs
Original: Fortnite developers can make AI characters now — just don’t try to date them
TL;DR
Epic Games released a new AI-powered "conversations" tool for Fortnite creators to build NPCs with unscripted dialogue and dynamic interactions, following last year's AI Darth Vader character. Developers define character personality via prompts and select matching voices; the tool replaces traditional dialogue trees. The feature includes content guardrails to prevent inappropriate interactions.
