Capcom is preparing for a ‘future where we create games together with AI’
Capcom is gradually integrating AI into its RE Engine to streamline development, aiming for a future of collaborative game creation.Summary
During the Capcom Open Conference RE: 2026, programmer Satoshi Ishida presented a talk on the future of the REX Project, which aims to evolve the RE Engine for next-generation game development. He highlighted the challenges of producing large-scale games like Resident Evil, where even simple tasks are time-consuming, and proposed integrating AI technology into development workflows to improve efficiency. Capcom has previously stated it will not use AI-generated assets in its games but will focus on using AI to make development more efficient. Ishida outlined a plan to incrementally transform the RE Engine into an AI-generation game engine, working toward a future where games are created together with AI. His comments align with Capcom's prior statements but also suggest a broader potential use of AI in game creation.
