Originally launched in 2012 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Resident Evil 6 saw a remastered version in spring 2016 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The latest ESRB listing hints at an upcoming version for the Xbox Series, and it's plausible to expect a similar release for the PlayStation 5, although no official confirmation has been made yet.

This news leaves fans curious about what enhancements the current-gen version will bring compared to the previous remaster. The only noticeable difference currently is in the game's description. Where earlier versions were categorized as a "third-person shooter," the new listing now labels it as a "survival horror" game. This shift in genre description could signal changes in gameplay or atmosphere, but we'll need to wait for a full reveal to understand the specifics.

Alongside the buzz about the re-release, the gaming community is also abuzz with anticipation for the ninth installment in the Resident Evil series. Rumors suggest that this upcoming game will be set four years after the events of Resident Evil: Village, promising to continue the saga with fresh narratives and gameplay experiences.
