Originally released in 2012 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Resident Evil 6 saw a remastered version in spring 2016 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. This latest update suggests that a new re-release is on the horizon, likely for both Xbox Series and PlayStation 5, though no official announcement has been made yet.
Gamers are buzzing with speculation about what enhancements the native version for current-generation consoles will bring compared to the previous remaster. The only noticeable change so far is in the game's description on the ESRB website. While earlier versions were categorized as a "third-person shooter," the new listing now labels it as a "survival horror" game. We can expect more details to emerge during an upcoming full presentation.
In addition to this remaster, the gaming community is eagerly awaiting news on the ninth installment of the series. Rumors suggest that it will be set four years after the events of Resident Evil: Village, adding to the anticipation and excitement surrounding the franchise's future.
