Capcom has revealed plans to transform its proprietary RE Engine into an AI-generation game engine. During a recent tech conference, the company detailed a multi-step improvement process codenamed REX, which aims to integrate generative AI to optimize performance, quality assurance, and game development.
In other industry news, Bungie co-founder Jason Jones has launched a new multi-medium entertainment studio called Stone Kite. Rather than developing video games initially, the studio is focusing on a comic book project titled One Zero One. The four-issue limited series, written by Jones, explores a scenario where humans confront an AI robot uprising. Margaret Stohl, a Bungie veteran and CEO of Stone Kite, noted that the studio aims to collaborate with global creators from multiple disciplines from the start.
Meanwhile, Jagex faced criticism from RuneScape fans after a trailer shown during Runefest 2026 was found to incorporate generative AI elements, evidenced by visual errors like a six-fingered hand. Jagex stated that the video was created by a trusted external partner who had explicitly promised not to use gen AI. The company has since removed the trailer while investigating the matter.
