## Summary

Capcom’s Pragmata studio outlined plans to embed AI into its game development processes at the RE: 2026 conference. Programmer Satoshi Ishida described challenges in producing large-scale games like *Resident Evil*, where even routine tasks consume significant time. His presentation, titled *The Outlook and Future of the REX Project*, proposed using AI to streamline workflows without relying on AI-generated assets—though he hinted at future possibilities for broader integration.

Ishida’s vision aims to transform the RE Engine into an ‘AI-generation game engine,’ targeting a future where AI collaborates directly with developers. The studio has previously stated it won’t use AI-generated assets but will focus on efficiency gains. IGN translated Ishida’s remarks, emphasizing an incremental approach toward AI-assisted game creation.

## Key points

- Capcom’s RE Engine will integrate AI to speed up development workflows, per programmer Satoshi Ishida
- Studio avoids AI-generated assets but explores AI collaboration for tasks like scripting or asset optimization
- Goal is an ‘AI-generation game engine’ by gradually enhancing RE Engine with AI tools

## Why it matters

If successful, Capcom’s approach could reduce development costs for large-scale games while setting a precedent for AI-assisted game creation without compromising artistic control.
