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. While previous versions were categorized as "third-person shooters," the new ESRB entry labels it "survival horror." This subtle change fuels speculation about potential enhancements beyond simple platform compatibility. Further details are awaited.
Beyond this potential remaster, anticipation builds for Resident Evil 9, rumored to be set four years after the events of Resident Evil Village.
