AI-Generated Deep Dive Summary
Epic Games has announced that Ben Starr, known for his role as Verso in *Clair Obscur: Expedition 33* and for voicing characters like Clive in *Final Fantasy 16* and Prometheus in *Hades 2*, will join the cast of *Fortnite* as The Visitor. This marks a significant addition to the game’s roster of intergalactic heroes, known as The Seven, who have been recurring characters in *Fortnite’s* live events since their debut in 2018. While the original iteration of The Visitor has not been seen or heard since 2022, Starr’s version will arrive in the OG Mode—a separate multiversal reality based on the game’s original battle royale map—to help save the day and speak for the first time.
The Seven includes other notable voices like Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson as The Foundation, Brie Larsen as The Paradigm, Joel McHale as The Scientist, Rahul Kohli as The Origin, Cherami Leigh as The Imagined, and Laura Bailey as The Order. These characters were reintroduced last year following the climactic *Zero Hour* finale, setting the stage for Chapter 7. Now, with Starr’s portrayal of The Visitor, fans will get to experience a fresh take on this iconic character, who was previously absent from the game’s storyline. This update also brings back AMIE, an AI assistant to The Seven, voiced by Erica Lindbeck, who last appeared in 2018.
