AI-Voiced Darth Vader Can Swear, Say 'Skibidi Toilet' in Fortnite: How to Find It

  • On May 16, 2025, Epic Games released an AI-powered version of Darth Vader in Fortnite’s Battle Royale, located in Samurai’s Solitude area on the map.
  • This release followed permission from the late James Earl Jones’ family, using AI voice models trained on his recordings to allow real-time conversational interaction.
  • AI Vader can respond intelligently, join squads, issue spontaneous dialogue, and has been tricked by players into uttering vulgarities and off-script phrases including curse words.
  • Epic Games quickly addressed the issue by releasing a hotfix shortly after the incident, assuring players that the problem should no longer occur.
  • The collaboration aims to let longtime and new fans enjoy Darth Vader’s character, but the situation highlights ongoing challenges with AI voice safety and content management in games.
