Sepreth(@Sepreth):Capcom wants the RE Engine to become an “AI-generation game engine.” Programmer Satoshi Ishida outlined it at Capcom Open Conference RE: 2026, under a project called REX. REX is a staged upgrade, not a new engine. Ishida said the systems are being written to one common language so AI can read them. He said that should let AI write programs and run test plays looking for bugs. Some of the tech is also going public, for AI training. The stated goal is a future where Capcom can “create games together with AI.” Earlier this year Capcom said it would not ship AI-generated assets, and would keep AI on the development side.
