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 an upcoming release optimized for current-gen consoles, likely encompassing both Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, though PlayStation 5 confirmation is still pending.

Interestingly, the game's genre description has shifted. Previous versions were categorized as "third-person shooters," while the new ESRB entry labels it "survival horror." This subtle change hints at potential alterations or a renewed focus on the survival horror aspects in this new version. Further details are expected with an official announcement.

Beyond this remaster, anticipation builds for Resident Evil 9, rumored to be set four years after the events of Resident Evil Village.
