Resident Evil's mastermind, Shinji Mikami, recently voiced his 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 yesterday's Grasshopper Direct, primarily focused on the upcoming *Shadows of the Damned* remaster, the conversation turned to future projects. Mikami openly expressed his desire for a Killer7 sequel, calling the original one of his personal favorites.Suda51 shared Mikami's enthusiasm, suggesting a sequel is a possibility, even playfully tossing around potential titles like "Killer11" or "Killer7: Beyond."
Killer7, a 2005 action-adventure game for GameCube and PlayStation 2, 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. Despite its cult following, a sequel has remained elusive. Even after the 2018 PC remaster, Suda51 expressed interest in revisiting his original vision.
Suda51 proposed a "Complete Edition" of Killer7, an idea Mikami playfully dismissed. However, the discussion revealed that the original game's concept included extensive dialogue for the character Coyote, which could be restored in such a release.
The mere suggestion of a sequel or complete edition sparked considerable fan excitement. While nothing is confirmed, the developers' enthusiasm has ignited hopes for Killer7's future. Mikami believes fans would appreciate a Complete Edition, to which Suda51 responded that they'd need to decide between "Killer7: Beyond" and the Complete Edition.
