Capcom plans to gradually transform the RE Engine into an AI generation engine, moving towards a future of co-developing games with AI

AI Brief

At the Capcom Open Conference RE: 2026, programmer Satoshi Ishida presented an outlook on the REX project, proposing the gradual transformation of the RE Engine into an "AI-generated game engine," oriented toward a future of "creating games together with AI."
