The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has recently updated the age rating for Resident Evil 6, confirming that the game retains its Mature 17+ rating. A significant update is the addition of a new platform listing, indicating that Resident Evil 6 is now also available for Xbox Series.

Initially released in 2012 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Resident Evil 6 saw a remastered version in spring 2016 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The latest development suggests that a new re-release is in the works, possibly extending to the PlayStation 5 as well, though no official confirmation has been made yet.
This re-release for current-generation consoles raises questions about what enhancements will be offered over the previous remaster. The only noticeable difference at this point is in the game's genre classification. While earlier versions were categorized as a "third-person shooter," the new listing describes Resident Evil 6 as a "survival horror" game. Fans eagerly await further details, likely to be revealed in an upcoming full presentation.
Alongside the excitement for the re-release, anticipation is building 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.
