Originally launched in 2012 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Resident Evil 6 saw a remastered version in spring 2016 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. While no official announcement has been made, it's speculated that this new version could also be coming to the PlayStation 5, in addition to the Xbox Series.
Gamers are curious about what enhancements this native version for current-generation consoles will offer over the previous remaster. The most notable change observed so far is in the game's description. Where earlier versions were categorized as a "third-person shooter," the new listing now emphasizes its "survival horror" roots. As anticipation builds, more detailed information is expected to be revealed in an upcoming full presentation.
Beyond this remaster, the gaming community is buzzing with excitement about the rumored ninth installment in the Resident Evil series. This next chapter is said to be set four years after the events of Resident Evil: Village, promising another thrilling adventure in the beloved franchise.
