Initially released in 2012 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Resident Evil 6 received a remastered edition in 2016 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. This new listing strongly suggests a further re-release optimized for current-gen consoles, likely including PlayStation 5.
Interestingly, the game's genre description has shifted. Previous versions were categorized as "third-person shooters," while the new ESRB entry labels it "survival horror." This subtle change hints at potential differences between this version and prior releases, although specifics remain undisclosed. A formal announcement is expected to shed more light on these enhancements.
Beyond this remaster, anticipation builds for Resident Evil 9, rumored to be set four years after the events of Resident Evil Village.
