First launched in 2012 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Resident Evil 6 saw a remastered version in 2016 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. While there's no official word yet, it's speculated that this new version might also come to the PlayStation 5. This re-release raises questions about what enhancements or changes the native version for current-gen consoles will offer over the previous remaster. The most visible update so far is in the game's description; where it was previously categorized as a "third-person shooter," the new listing now identifies it as a "survival horror" game. Fans are eager to learn more, and further details are expected to be revealed in an upcoming full presentation.

In addition to this re-release, the gaming community is buzzing with anticipation for the next installment in the series. Rumors suggest that Resident Evil 9 will be set four years after the events of Resident Evil: Village, promising to continue the saga with new thrills and chills.
