Capcom upgrades its RE Engine game engine and transforms it into an AI-generated game engine

Capcom, a major Japanese game company, today announced a next-generation RE Engine project called "REX", which will upgrade this now-main game engine and transform it into an "AI-generated game engine." It will use AI to improve game development efficiency while ensuring production quality, but the actual game content will not be AI-generated.

Since Capcom launched the RE Engine game engine, it has successively launched new games such as "Fighter 6", "Devil Hunter 5", "Dragon's Doctrine 2", etc. Players appreciate its exquisite graphics and technology, and the original manufacturer plans to further upgrade this engine to improve efficiency and ensure overall quality.

Capcom game team programmer Satoru Ishida pointed out that a next-generation RE Engine project called "REX" will be launched to transform the RE Engine into an "AI-generated game engine", but it will mainly use AI technology to assist game development. The final product experienced by actual players will not have AI-generated content. This move has also been recognized by a large number of players.

This means that the release time of Capcom's future new games may be shortened, and the picture quality is expected to be further improved, but the characters and scenes within the game will still be hand-crafted by artists. Capcom has already produced a number of game masterpieces this year, including "Castle of Evil: Requiem," "Man and Machine," "Monster Hunter Story 3," "Onimusha: Path of the Sword," etc. With the upgrade of the game engine, it is expected to usher in a wave of explosions.
