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 a further re-release optimized for current-gen consoles, likely including PlayStation 5. However, official confirmation is pending.

Interestingly, the game's genre description has shifted. Previous versions were categorized as "third-person shooters," while the new ESRB entry labels it "survival horror." This subtle change hints at potential alterations, though specifics remain undisclosed. A formal announcement is expected to provide further clarification.

Beyond this potential remaster, anticipation builds for Resident Evil 9. Rumors suggest a storyline set four years after the events of Resident Evil Village.
