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 current-gen consoles, likely encompassing 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 alteration is in the game's genre description. While past iterations were categorized as "third-person shooters," the new ESRB listing designates it as a "survival horror" title. Further details are expected during an official announcement.

Beyond this potential remaster, anticipation is building for Resident Evil 9, rumored to be set four years after the events of Resident Evil Village.
