Resident Evil's mastermind, Shinji Mikami, recently expressed strong support for a Killer7 sequel during a presentation featuring Goichi "Suda51" Suda. Let's delve into the exciting possibilities discussed for this cult classic.
Mikami and Suda Hint at Killer7 Sequel and Remaster
Killer11 or Killer7: Beyond?
During the Grasshopper Direct, the focus was primarily on the upcoming *Shadows of the Damned* remaster. However, the conversation shifted to the future, with Mikami openly stating his desire for a Killer7 sequel, calling it a personal favorite.Suda51 mirrored this enthusiasm, suggesting a sequel is a possibility. He even tossed around potential titles like "Killer11" or "Killer7: Beyond," sparking immediate fan interest.
Killer7, a 2005 action-adventure game for GameCube and PlayStation 2, masterfully blends horror, mystery, and Suda51's signature over-the-top violence. The game follows Harman Smith, a man capable of manifesting seven distinct personalities, each with unique abilities and weapons. Despite its cult following, a sequel has remained elusive. Even after the 2018 PC remaster, Suda51 voiced his interest in revisiting the original vision.
Suda51 proposed a "Complete Edition" of Killer7, an idea Mikami playfully dismissed. However, the discussion revealed that the original concept included extensive dialogue for the character Coyote, potentially restorable in a Complete Edition.
The mere suggestion of a sequel or a complete edition ignited fervent fan excitement. While nothing is confirmed, the developers' enthusiasm alone fuels anticipation for the future of Killer7. Mikami suggested fans would appreciate a Complete Edition, prompting Suda51's response: "We'd have to decide which comes first, Killer7: Beyond or the Complete Edition."
