Capcom Revives RE:2026 Technology Conference to Showcase the Future of RE Engine

Capcom has officially announced the return of its developer-focused RE:2026 Technology Conference, where engineers and technical artists will present the latest advancements behind the company's proprietary RE Engine. Scheduled to take place in Tokyo and Osaka, the event will offer an in-depth look at the technologies powering Capcom's newest generation of games, including Resident Evil Requiem, Pragmata, and future projects.

The conference will feature a wide range of presentations covering rendering technology, animation systems, artificial intelligence, optimization techniques, procedural content generation, and modern graphics pipelines. According to Capcom, developers will discuss how the RE Engine continues to evolve to support increasingly complex worlds while maintaining the high level of performance and visual quality that has become synonymous with the studio's recent releases.

The event also highlights the continued evolution of the RE Engine, which has powered many of Capcom's biggest successes, including Resident Evil 7, Resident Evil Village, Devil May Cry 5, Street Fighter 6, Dragon's Dogma 2, Monster Hunter Wilds, and Pragmata. Capcom has previously confirmed that the engine is undergoing a gradual transformation through its next-generation RE neXt (REX) initiative, introducing new technologies while preserving compatibility with the existing development pipeline.

By bringing back the RE:2026 Technology Conference, Capcom is once again giving developers and technical enthusiasts a rare opportunity to explore the engineering behind some of the industry's most visually impressive games. While the conference is primarily intended for game developers, it also offers fans a glimpse into the innovations shaping Capcom's future titles and demonstrates the company's continued investment in advancing its in-house technology.
