😌 Capcom says it won’t use AI-generated content in its games.
During Open Conference RE:2026, Capcom explained how it plans to use AI in future game development.
❗️First of all, the company made its position clear: “AI is not a replacement for humans.”
Capcom describes AI as the “shield” and humans as the “spear.” AI will handle time-consuming and repetitive work, like checking huge numbers of patterns and large amounts of text. This frees up developers’ time and mental resources to focus on creativity, gameplay feel, and emotion, which Capcom describes as the core value of games, and where people can put all their passion.
Capcom also wants AI to help catch problems early. After a developer submits new code, AI could predict potential issues, automatically investigate them, and suggest fixes before they become bigger problems.
🤞At the same time, Capcom says generative AI-created assets will not be used in its games.
