Epic Games added AI-generated voices to 36 Fortnite characters including Agent Jones and The Imagined, powered by Google's Gemini AI and trained on performances from independent professional actors. The voices are available in Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) for creators to use on player-made islands. The conversation system exits Experimental status July 30, allowing creators to publish islands with LLM-powered NPCs that can respond to player input and adapt behavior based on game events.
