Capcom’s higher-ups decided to renew the technology of their graphics engine, and as a result, they brought out the main merits of the game called “”.REX Engine” is an evolution of the “RE Engine”, a self-developed technological solution that the company has been using in recent years. As the entertainment company explains, this new engine will be responsible for “expanding the diversity of scales of its projects” with the main goal of increasing efficiency in asset processing and levels of customization.

From Resident Evil VII

You need to go back to ‘premiere’ to find the first game ported with the RE Engine.Resident Evil VIIIt was released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC in 2017. Since then, the technology has served those responsible for producing superhits like ‘Monster Hunter Rise’, ‘Devil May Cry 5’, ‘Exoprimal’ and even ‘Street Fighter 6’. ”. Other notable works such as ‘Pragmata’ and ‘Dragon’s Dogma 2’ also use its structure.

According to Capcom’s statement, “REX Engine” is short for “RE neXt Engine” and promises to provide up to five times more power than the current engine. Considering that this is an “evolution” and not a technology created from scratch, there are a lot of possibilities to start using it in some games closer to the release date. Although its functions have been somewhat explained, executives of the famous video game house have not specified which of its patents they will start using next. Considering that we only confirm the production ‘Pragmata’, ‘Dragon’s Dogma 2’ and ‘Kunitsu-Gami: Way of the Goddess’, The path is unclear and raises some doubts. Leaks point a little further and point to new episodes for series like ‘Monster Hunter’ and ‘Mega Man’ but nothing has been officially confirmed by the production company.

Positive financial balance

It’s worth noting that on a financial level, Capcom has been on a good track, especially in terms of popularity, with its releases becoming accustomed to occupying a place among the bestsellers of each platform. For example, ‘Resident Evil 4’ Remake has reached 5.45 million units since its release. ‘Street Fighter 6’ also performs quite well 2.4 million sales and more players should sign up once extra characters start rolling out and online seasons reach a certain pace. ‘Exoprimal’ is in the first stage of its journey as a new brand and has not yet reached one million units. According to company reports, the video game will take new actions to increase the size of the congregation before the end of the fiscal year. However, with sufficient support, it is difficult for this ambitious project not to succeed.
