The ESRB website has recently updated the age rating for Resident Evil 6, maintaining its Mature 17+ classification but adding a new platform to the mix—the Xbox Series. This development suggests that the game, which originally launched in 2012 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and saw a remastered release in spring 2016 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, might be gearing up for a re-release on current-generation consoles. Although no official announcement has been made, it's plausible that a version for the PlayStation 5 is also in the works.

With this new listing, fans are left to ponder what enhancements the native version for the latest consoles will offer over the previous remaster. The most notable difference currently is in the game's genre description. Where earlier versions were categorized as a "third-person shooter," the updated listing now labels it as a "survival horror" game. This shift could indicate changes in gameplay or atmosphere, though more concrete details are expected to emerge during a forthcoming 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 next chapter will be set four years after the events of Resident Evil: Village, adding to the excitement and speculation about what's next for this iconic franchise.
