"The goal is for the Fortnite AI chatbot to help players find answers faster for their support questions. The chatbot is first rolling out in a test that will make it available only to 1% of players on Fortnite's English-language support site. Wider availability for the chatbot will come later, Epic said. Earlier this year, Microsoft rolled out its own AI chatbot to help Xbox users with a variety of things."
"Before this, Epic Games used AI to replicate the late James Earl Jones' voice to bring a Darth Vader to Fortnite as a character people could converse with. After this, Epic Games announced an AI-powered NPC Persona device that allows users to create their own AI-powered characters. Game developers have used artificial intelligence technologies for a long time already, but things have progressed quickly of late due to new advancements for things like generative AI."
Epic Games is testing an AI-powered Fortnite chatbot designed to help players find support answers faster, starting with a 1% rollout on the English-language support site and planned wider availability later. Microsoft rolled out an AI chatbot for Xbox earlier this year. Epic previously used AI to recreate James Earl Jones' voice for a Darth Vader character and introduced an AI-powered NPC Persona device for custom AI characters. Rapid generative AI advances have accelerated AI use in game development and sparked controversy over potential job losses and plagiarism. Leaks suggest KPop Demon Hunters characters may arrive for Fortnitemares 2025, and a John Cena emote was removed after a Peacemaker Season 2 twist.
