Capcom announced the REX Project at a tech conference to transform the RE Engine into an AI-generation platform through six sub-programs focused on development efficiency. The effort aims to reduce complexity for the thousands of developers using the engine while supporting AI tools without generating assets automatically.
Capcom uses the phrase AI-generation to describe an engine ecosystem built to support AI tools in the development process, not to generate game assets through artificial intelligence.
The company noted that most games now involve some form of AI assistance and that the RE Engine must align with that reality.
