Resident Evil 6 Remastered Nears Launch

The ESRB website has updated its rating for Resident Evil 6, maintaining its Mature 17+ classification while adding Xbox Series as a new platform.

A Return to Survival Horror?

Originally released in 2012 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Resident Evil 6 received a remastered edition in 2016 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. While the Xbox Series listing suggests an upcoming current-gen release, PlayStation 5 compatibility remains unconfirmed.

The key difference spotted so far appears in the game's genre classification—shifting from "third-person shooter" in previous versions to "survival horror" in this current listing. This subtle yet intriguing change hints at potential gameplay refinements, though official details await confirmation.

Beyond this re-release, fans continue anticipating news about Resident Evil 9. Rumors suggest the next mainline entry will unfold four years after Resident Evil: Village's events.
