FULL STORY
======================================================================Resident
 Evil 6 could be getting a re-release on modern consoles An ESRB rating for 
the game has been assigned for 'Xbox Series' platforms If real, it's more 
likely to be another remaster and not a full-blown remake 

It's looking like an older Resident Evil game is going to be getting the 
current-generation re-release treatment. And this time it's what many fans 
would consider to be far and away the worst mainline game in the series - 
Resident Evil 6. 

An ESRB rating spotted by VGC has assigned an M (Mature 17+) rating to 
Resident Evil 6, specifically for 'Xbox Series' consoles. If it's the real 
deal, then it's likely the 2012 action horror game could also make the jump 
to PS5 and potentially the Nintendo Switch 2 . 

Of course, this wouldn't be the first time Resident Evil 6 has been ported to 
more modern systems. Originally a PS3 and Xbox 360 title, it later received 
re-releases on PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch alongside the original 
Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5. Oddly, there don't appear to be 
accompanying ESRB ratings for these games for current-generation systems. 

And no, this latest version of Resident Evil 6 probably isn't going to be a 
remake along the lines of Resident Evil 2 or Resident Evil 4 . Not only 
because we'd be skipping Resident Evil 5 here, but also because there 
probably isn't much appetite for a remake of a game that's largely regarded 
as one of the franchise's weakest entries. 

Instead, it's more likely to be another remaster, perhaps adding 4K support 
at up to 120Hz. I'd also expect online co-op to be included for each 
campaign, as well as a likelihood of all previous DLC being included at no 
extra cost. 

Of course, it is nice to see Capcom future-proofing its older games like 
this. The developer has been excellent for this recently, preserving classics 
in collections like Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics 
and the upcoming Capcom Fighting Collection 2. However, with the PS4 and Xbox 
One versions of Resident Evil 6 being playable on modern hardware via 
backwards compatibility, this one would be a bit more of a damp squib. You
