Capcom clarifies generative AI use in game development

Capcom has outlined its approach to generative AI, focusing on routine tasks while keeping core creativity in human hands.

The company stated its policy aims to improve efficiency of routine operations so developers can focus on essential value creation. In a recent investor Q&A, Capcom noted it sees a certain degree of effectiveness from generative AI and is actively incorporating the technology into each stage of development. Capcom added that the multifaceted nature of game development means it will take time to show quantitative results. It emphasized that creativity at the core of games should remain handled by humans. The clarification comes after a strong period for the studio. Pragmata and Resident Evil Requiem both launched in February and achieved significant sales milestones shortly after release.
