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. The latest update suggests a new re-release tailored for the Xbox Series, and possibly the PlayStation 5, though no official confirmation has been released yet.

This development leaves players curious about the differences between the native version for current-generation consoles and the previous remaster. The only noticeable change so far is in the game's description. While earlier versions were categorized as a "third-person shooter," the new listing classifies it as a "survival horror" game. Further details are expected to be revealed in an upcoming full presentation.

Beyond the remaster, fans are eagerly awaiting news on the ninth installment of the series. Rumors suggest that this next chapter will be set four years after the events of Resident Evil: Village.
