Capcom tested a Google Cloud-based system that uses generative AI to produce concept ideas and initial visual references for in-game environments, helping developers manage the enormous volume of object designs needed during production. The system was built by technical director Kazuki Abe and, as of early 2025, remained a prototype with positive internal feedback.

The system takes text, images, and tables about the game being developed as input, then uses Google's Gemini Pro, Gemini Flash, and Imagen models to generate and evaluate ideas against predetermined quality criteria, automatically refining outputs. According to Abe, Gemini delivers results in seconds, which he called an essential advantage for game development speed. As of the February 2026 investor briefing, Capcom stated it is actively testing generative AI methods across graphics, sound, and programming departments to improve efficiency and productivity, while maintaining that AI-generated materials will not appear in final game content.
