Most interestingly, AI plays into Capcom\u2019s larger, long-term goal of turning the RE Engine into an \u201cAI-generation game engine\u201d using its REX improvements.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">GameBiz stated that REX unifies the entire RE Engine system under the \u201cworld\u2019s most common programming language,&#8221; meaning that it\u2019s equal parts easier for humans to use and for AI to understand. Capcom\u2019s goal is to build a future where it \u201ccreates games together with AI\u201d; keeping REX in mind, this seems to mean that Capcom is utilizing artificial intelligence to speed up and streamline certain processes to make development easier, not necessarily to generate assets or artworks wholesale.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">In the past, Capcom has been publicly averse to using AI to create assets, but confirmed that it will use artificial intelligence as a tool for optimizing how it makes games. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cWe will not implement assets generated by AI into our games.\u201d Capcom said in a March 2026 shareholders meeting. \u201cHowever, we plan to proactively use it as a contributing technology to improve the efficiency and productivity of the game development process. To this end, we are currently exploring ways to implement it in various areas, including graphics, sound and programming.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">This is the latest big news to come from Capcom after Resident Evil executive producer Jun Takeuchi revealed that plans are already in place to prepare the series for when RE remakes catch up to modern games, saying the series is being developed along \u201ctwo tracks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">It\u2019s been a big year for the company; this year alone, Capcom has produced three critically-acclaimed titles in Resident Evil Requiem, Pragmata, and Onimusha: Way of the Sword, alongside two movie adaptations in Zach Cregger\u2019s Resident Evil and Legendary\u2019s Street Fighter flick, set to release in theaters on October 16, 2026.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"author-sign-off\"><\/p>\n<section class=\"author-sign-off\" data-cy=\"author-sign-off\"><span class=\"stack jsx-59817748 jsx-1927875859\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"rounded jsx-444076027 jsx-1730475047 profile-thumb jsx-2141281959 aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-1-1\"><img alt=\"Virginia Glaze Avatar\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image profile-thumb-img jsx-249361588 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/avatars\/6a3973ecf71dd1001d20de39\/XD1zX2FT-1782150223173.jpg?crop=1%3A1&amp;width=56&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 1x, https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/avatars\/6a3973ecf71dd1001d20de39\/XD1zX2FT-1782150223173.jpg?crop=1%3A1&amp;width=56&amp;dpr=2&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 2x\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"stack jsx-2509706801 jsx-3630940851\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"interface jsx-1132626198 sign-off-text\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Virginia (she\/her) is IGN\u2019s News Editor.
