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 a further enhanced version is in development for both Xbox Series X|S and likely PlayStation 5, though official confirmation is pending.

Interestingly, the game's genre description has shifted. Previous releases were categorized as "third-person shooters," while this new entry is listed as "survival horror." This subtle change hints at potential differences, though specifics remain undisclosed. A full reveal is expected to clarify these distinctions.

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