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 both Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, though official confirmation is pending.

Speculation abounds regarding the differences between this new version and the previous remaster. Currently, the only visible alteration is in the game's genre description. While earlier versions were categorized as "third-person shooters," the new listing designates it as a "survival horror" title. Further details are expected with an official announcement.

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