Epic Games launched a unique event in Fortnite, in the framework of which players got the opportunity to talk with Darth Vader. The famous antagonist from the Star Wars Universe is able to answer your questions with a voice generated by artificial intelligence. The character returned to the Royal Battle as a boss, replacing the variation of the samurai Darth Vader, and became available for hiring.
After ing the Weider team, the players will have a special button that allows you to start the conversation. Questions can be asked on many topics – from a galactic empire to tactics in the last circles of the storm. The character reacts in the style corresponding to the image of Lord Sith. True, you can only communicate with him in English – the Lord Sith does not understand other languages.
Vader’s answers are generated using the Gemini 2.0 Flash model from Google, and the voice is synthesized using Elevenlabs Flash v2.5 technology. The developers emphasized that in voice acting used the capabilities of AI and the permission from the heirs of James Erla Jones, an actor, whose Vader’s voice was ed by the audience in original films.
“James Earl believed that Darth Vader’s voice is inseparable from the history of Star Wars and always wanted fans of all ages to continue to feel it. We hope that the collaboration with Fortnite will allow both the long -standing fans of Darth Vader and the new generations to share the joy of meeting this cult character. ” – James’s family Erla Jones
The function is available within the framework of the Royal Battle of the Battle and Zero Height for the first team that managed to recruit Vader. However, for players under 13 years of age, or those who have not reached the age of digital consent in their country, the permission of the parents is required. The corresponding configuration is available in the system Epic Games.
The developers assured that voice data and their decryptions are not preserved, and interaction with AI is not used to teach models. Wedder’s complaints are accepted separately, and his replicas can be checked.
