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. An official announcement is pending.

Interestingly, the game's genre description has shifted. Previous versions were categorized as "third-person shooters," while the new listing designates it as "survival horror." Further details regarding this change and other potential enhancements are anticipated.

Beyond this remaster, fans eagerly await news of Resident Evil 9, rumored to be set four years after the events of Resident Evil Village.
