The ESRB website has recently updated the age rating for Resident Evil 6, confirming its Mature 17+ rating, but with an exciting twist.

Resident Evil 6 initially hit the market back in 2012, available on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and later saw a remastered release in spring 2016 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. With this new listing for the Xbox Series, it's reasonable to speculate that a similar release might be in the works for the PlayStation 5, although official confirmation is pending.

The key question on many players' minds is what enhancements this native version for current-generation consoles will bring compared to the previous remaster. The only visible change thus far is in the game's description on the ESRB website. While earlier versions were categorized as a "third-person shooter," this new listing categorizes Resident Evil 6 as a "survival horror" game. This shift in genre description hints at potential changes in gameplay or atmosphere. More insights are expected to be revealed in an upcoming full presentation.

Beyond the remaster, the gaming community is buzzing with anticipation for the announcement of the ninth installment in the Resident Evil series. According to rumors, this new chapter is slated to be set four years after the events of Resident Evil: Village, promising to further expand the gripping narrative that fans have come to love.
