Capcom plans to turn RE Engine into an AI game-generation engine
What happened
Capcom has said it won't use AI-generated assets in its games, only AI to speed up development. In an October 4 report, the company said at Capcom Open Conference RE: 2026 that it will fold AI into its development pipeline and gradually rebuild RE Engine into an "AI game-generation engine," aiming for a future of "creating games together with AI." Programmer Satoshi Ishida said the goal is to address how long a Resident Evil-scale game takes to build. The report covers the direction and goal of the engine overhaul, not a completion date.
