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 an upcoming release for both Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, though official confirmation is pending.

Speculation is rife regarding the differences between this new version and the previous remaster. Currently, the only visible change is in the game's genre description. The ESRB listing now categorizes it as "survival horror," unlike previous iterations labeled "third-person shooter." Further details are expected in a formal announcement.

Beyond this potential remaster, fans are keenly awaiting news of Resident Evil 9, rumored to be set four years after the events of Resident Evil Village.
