The short version
- As reported by gamebiz (via VGC ), programmer Satoshi Ishida outlined the plans at the "Capcom Open Conference RE:2026" event yesterday (2nd October), explaining that the changes were coming as part of an ongoing overhaul dubbed the REX Project.
- RE Engine has been in development since 2014 and made its debut in Resident Evil 7 back in 2017.
- It's since been the engine behind the best part of 30 Capcom titles.
What happened
Ishida's goal is to create an engine where AI can understand and generate code, run automated test plays to catch bugs, and support development directly, working towards what he called a future where teams "create games together with AI". Capcom says it has already open-sourced some of the underlying technology to help with AI training.
