Capcom Is Looking To Evolve Its RE Engine Into An 'AI-Era Game Engine'

Capcom programmer Satoshi Ishida detailed upcoming RE Engine improvements at Capcom Open Conference RE: 2026, where the company's "REX" initiative aims to tackle lengthy development challenges in tools, QA and efficiency. Capcom wants to evolve the RE Engine into an "AI-generation game engine," using the most common programming language to improve readability for AI so it can automatically create programs or run play tests to identify bugs. Capcom has also open-sourced technologies such as RE:Dox and RE:Log, primarily to train its AI.
