Originally launched in 2012 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Resident Evil 6 saw a remastered version in spring 2016 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. While there's no official word yet, it's speculated that this new version might also be in the works for the PlayStation 5, expanding its reach to the latest consoles.

The intrigue surrounding this re-release centers on what enhancements the native version for current-generation consoles will offer over the previous remaster. The only noticeable change so far is in the game's genre description. Where it was previously categorized as a "third-person shooter," the new listing now labels it as a "survival horror" game. This shift could hint at a return to the series' roots, though more details are expected to be revealed in an upcoming full presentation.

Beyond the remaster, the gaming community is buzzing with anticipation for the ninth installment in the Resident Evil series. Rumors suggest that this next chapter will be set four years after the events of Resident Evil: Village, promising to continue the saga with fresh narratives and gameplay experiences.
