The ESRB website has recently updated the age rating for Resident Evil 6, confirming its Mature 17+ classification. What's catching the eye of fans and gamers alike is the addition of a new platform: the game is now listed for the Xbox Series. This development suggests that Capcom might be gearing up for a re-release tailored for the latest generation of consoles.

Originally launched 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 new listing on ESRB hints at an upcoming release for the Xbox Series, and possibly the PlayStation 5, though no official word has been released yet. This leaves fans speculating about what enhancements the native version for current-generation consoles might bring over the previous remaster. The only noticeable change so far is in the game's description; where it was once categorized as a "third-person shooter," the new listing now labels it as a "survival horror" game. More details are expected to emerge during a full presentation.
Alongside this news, the gaming community is buzzing with anticipation 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, promising to continue the thrilling narrative that fans have come to love.
