Capcom is reportedly preparing to release a remastered version of Resident Evil 6, bringing the 2012 action-horror title to current-generation consoles. An ESRB rating has given it an “M” for Xbox Series X|S.

A recent ESRB rating for Resident Evil 6 has been spotted, hinting at a possible remaster for a current-gen release. The ESRB rating reveals the survival horror was given “M” for Mature for Xbox Series X|S.

Unlike the recent remakes of previous games in the franchise, an RE6 remaster would offer enhanced visuals rather than a complete game overhaul.

Background of Resident Evil 6

Resident Evil 6 was released in 2012, with Capcom focusing on action rather than horror, as they had since Resident Evil 4. This shift received mixed reactions from fans and continues to split opinion among the fanbase today.

This would not be the first time RE6 is remastered, with the game re-released on Xbox One and PS4 in 2016, before a Nintendo Switch release in 2019.

Speculations and Official Announcements

With no official confirmation from Capcom, all speculation comes from an ESRB rating for the Xbox Series X|S. Although fans hope for a full remake, like RE4, the ESRB rating suggests it’s only a remaster.

If true, a remaster will see the game receive enhanced visuals, smoother gameplay, higher frame rates, and possible minor improvements. A PS5 version will likely follow with a rating soon, but it’s unclear about a PC remaster. We await to hear officially from Capcom.
