Capcom to Implement AI-Based Technologies to Optimize Game Development

However, there will be no AI-generated content in the company's games.

Capcom has published the results of an information meeting with investors held in February, where it clarified its position on the use of generative artificial intelligence. In response to questions from shareholders, the company stated that it would not incorporate AI-generated assets directly into its games.

Capcom is already testing various ways to use AI in the graphics, sound, and programming departments.

However, it remains unclear how widely the company will implement such solutions. Previously, Capcom's Technical Director Kazuki Abe noted that AI could be used to optimize the process of generating ideas when creating game environment objects. According to him, even minor elements require the development of "thousands and tens of thousands" of unique concepts, which makes this stage one of the most labor-intensive. The use of generative AI was considered as a way to speed up this process without affecting key aspects — plot, characters, and gameplay.
