Initially launched in 2012 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Resident Evil 6 received a remastered version in spring 2016 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. This new re-release for Xbox Series suggests that a version for PlayStation 5 might also be in the works, though no official confirmation has been released yet.
Enthusiasts are curious about what distinguishes this native version for current-gen consoles from the previous remaster. The primary difference currently visible is in the game's description. While earlier versions were categorized as a "third-person shooter," the new listing classifies it as a "survival horror" game, hinting at a possible shift in focus or gameplay. More insights into these changes are expected during an upcoming full presentation.
Beyond the remaster, the gaming community is buzzing with anticipation for the announcement of the ninth installment in the Resident Evil series. Rumors suggest that this new game will be set four years after the events of Resident Evil: Village, promising to continue the gripping narrative of the franchise.
