Epic Games releases AI conversation tool for Fortnite creators to build dynamic, unscripted NPC characters

Epic Games introduced a new 'conversations' tool allowing Fortnite creators to design AI-powered characters capable of unscripted dialogue and player interactions

Developers can define character personalities, knowledge, and behavior through simple prompts, then assign matching voices to the NPCs

This follows Epic's previous AI experiment with an AI-powered Darth Vader character that recreated James Earl Jones' voice with profanity

The tool replaces traditional dialogue trees, enabling more dynamic quest givers, narrators, and interactive characters on player-created islands
