The new Resident Evil 6 remaster might be coming soon

The ESRB website has updated the rating for Resident Evil 6, confirming its Mature 17+ rating and adding the Xbox Series X|S as a new platform. This suggests an upcoming release for the current-gen console.

Initially released in 2012 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Resident Evil 6 received a remastered version in 2016 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. While no official announcement has been made, this new listing strongly hints at a further remaster or port for both Xbox Series X|S and likely PlayStation 5.

Interestingly, the game's genre description has changed. Previous versions were categorized as "third-person shooter," while the new listing designates it as "survival horror." This subtle shift in description might indicate alterations to gameplay or emphasis in this new version. Further details are awaited.

Beyond this potential remaster, fans are also looking forward to the rumored ninth main installment in the Resident Evil series. Speculation points to a setting four years after the events of Resident Evil Village.
