AI is moving from backend infrastructure into creative tools, letting game developers build interactive experiences without hand-coding dialogue systems.
Epic Games is expanding its AI offerings in Fortnite with a new “conversations” tool that enables creators to build AI-powered characters players can interact with naturally. This follows the company’s successful 2023 experiment with an AI-generated Darth Vader character that mimicked James Earl Jones’ voice. The tool replaces traditional dialogue trees with generative AI, letting developers focus on creative direction rather than manual scripting.
