Originally released in 2012 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Resident Evil 6 saw a remastered release in spring 2016 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The addition of the Xbox Series to the ESRB listing hints at an upcoming re-release, likely extending to the PlayStation 5 as well, although no official announcement has been made yet.

The community is buzzing with speculation about what enhancements the native version for current-generation consoles might offer over the previous remaster. The only apparent difference so far is in the game's genre classification. While earlier versions were described as a "third-person shooter," the new listing categorizes it as a "survival horror" game. Further details are expected to emerge during a forthcoming full presentation.

Beyond the remaster, fans are eagerly awaiting news on the ninth installment of the series. Rumors suggest that Resident Evil 9 will be set four years after the events of Resident Evil: Village, adding to the anticipation and excitement among the gaming community.
