Capcom Announces Plans to Transform the RE Engine Into an AI-Generation Game Engine - ‘Our Goal Is a Future Where We Create Games Together With AI’
IGN • • technology
Key Points:
- Capcom announced major updates to its RE Engine through a multi-step project called REX, aiming to incrementally improve the engine and transform it into an "AI-generation game engine."
- The REX project addresses key challenges such as the increasing complexity of games, the need for an engine accessible to a larger development team, and integrating AI to streamline workflows.
- Capcom plans to make parts of the REX improvements open-source for AI training and unify the engine under a common programming language to facilitate both human and AI use.
- While Capcom is committed to using AI to enhance development efficiency, it has stated it will not use AI to generate game assets directly, focusing instead on AI as a tool for optimization in graphics, sound, and programming.
- This initiative aligns with Capcom’s broader strategy to prepare the Resident Evil series for future developments, alongside a productive year featuring multiple game releases and upcoming movie adaptations.
