The new Resident Evil 6 remaster might be coming soon

The ESRB website has recently updated the age rating for Resident Evil 6, confirming that the game retains its Mature 17+ rating. Excitingly, a new platform has been added to the mix—the game is now listed for the Xbox Series, signaling a potential re-release for current-generation consoles.

Originally launched in 2012 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Resident Evil 6 saw a remastered version in spring 2016 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. With this new listing, it's highly probable that a re-release is in the works not only for the Xbox Series but also for the PlayStation 5, though no official announcement has been made yet.

This development leaves fans curious about what enhancements the native version for current-generation consoles will offer over the previous remaster. The only noticeable change so far is in the game's description. While earlier versions were categorized as a "third-person shooter," the new listing now labels it as a "survival horror" game. We can expect more details to emerge during a full presentation.

In addition to this re-release, the gaming community is buzzing with anticipation for the announcement of the ninth installment in the Resident Evil series. Rumors suggest that this new game will be set four years after the events of Resident Evil: Village.
