Capcom is preparing for a ‘future where we create games together with AI’

Capcom programmer Satoshi Ishida said the company is preparing for a “future where we create games together with AI” during a presentation on its REX Project and RE Engine roadmap. He framed AI-assisted workflows as a way to reduce time-consuming production tasks on big-budget games like Resident Evil.

Capcom’s comments reflect a broader industry shift toward using AI as production infrastructure rather than just a creative gimmick. If major studios can apply automation without alienating developers or players, AI may become a standard tool for speeding asset creation, testing, and iteration in AAA game pipelines.
