Epic Games is introducing an experimental AI-powered conversation tool for Fortnite creators, enabling developers to build NPCs with unscripted dialogue using Google's Gemini and ElevenLabs voice technology.

The move comes as Epic navigates platform engagement challenges that led to significant workforce reductions in 2025.
