Capcom Is Looking To Evolve Its RE Engine Into An 'AI-Era Game Engine'
Capcom is upgrading its proprietary RE Engine to integrate AI tools aimed at improving development efficiency, QA, and code readability. The company emphasizes that these tools are intended to assist creators rather than replace human artistic output.
Why it matters

It wants to "create games together with AI"

As reported by GameBiz (thanks, VGC ), Capcom's 'REX' initiative is designed to overcome modern development challenges that make the process so lengthy, including improvements to tools, QA, efficiency, and more.
