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 new listing on the ESRB website hints at a potential re-release tailored for current-generation consoles, including the Xbox Series and possibly the PlayStation 5, though no official confirmation has been made yet.
The anticipation surrounding this re-release centers on what enhancements the native version for current-generation consoles will offer over the previous remaster. A notable change in the game's description has caught the attention of fans: while earlier versions were categorized as a "third-person shooter," the new listing now labels it as a "survival horror" game. This shift in genre classification could indicate a return to the series' roots, focusing more on horror elements. More details are expected to be revealed in an upcoming full presentation.
In addition to the excitement about Resident Evil 6's re-release, the gaming community is buzzing with anticipation for the announcement of the ninth installment in the series. Rumors suggest that this new game will be set four years after the events of Resident Evil: Village, promising to continue the thrilling narrative that fans have come to love.
