Initially released in 2012 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Resident Evil 6 saw a remastered release in spring 2016 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. This new re-release seems poised for the Xbox Series, and there's a strong possibility it might also come to PlayStation 5, though no official announcement has been made yet.
With this news, fans are buzzing with speculation about what differentiates this native version for current-generation consoles from the previous remaster. The most notable change is in the game's description; where previous versions were categorized as a "third-person shooter," the new listing identifies it as a "survival horror" game. We can expect more details to emerge during an upcoming full presentation.
Beyond the remaster, the gaming community is eagerly awaiting news about the ninth installment of the series. Rumors suggest it will be set four years after the events of Resident Evil: Village.
