Capcom intends to use AI to speed up game development, despite previously stating it will not use AI-generated content in its games.
Capcom is planning to integrate artificial intelligence into its game development process to speed up production. Programmer Satoshi Ishida outlined this vision during a presentation at the Capcom Open Conference RE: 2026, discussing how the studio aims to evolve its REX Engine technology.
The move comes despite Capcom's previous commitment that it will not use AI-generated content in its games themselves. The company describes the future as one where it will 'create games together with AI', suggesting a collaborative development approach rather than relying on generative AI for final game assets.
