Resident Evil's mastermind, Shinji Mikami, recently expressed strong support for a Killer7 sequel during a presentation with Goichi "Suda51" Suda. Let's delve into their discussion about this cult classic and the potential for its return.
Mikami and Suda Hint at Killer7 Sequel and Remaster
Killer11 or Killer7: Beyond?
During a recent Grasshopper Direct focusing on the upcoming *Shadows of the Damned* remaster, the conversation shifted to the possibility of both a *Killer7* sequel and a complete edition. Mikami declared his love for the original, calling it a personal favorite and expressing a desire to see Suda51 create a sequel.Suda51 mirrored this enthusiasm, suggesting a sequel was a real possibility, even playfully tossing around title ideas like "Killer11" or "Killer7: Beyond."
The 2005 GameCube and PlayStation 2 title, Killer7, is a cult classic action-adventure game known for its blend of horror, mystery, and Suda51's signature over-the-top style. The game follows Harman Smith, a man capable of manifesting seven distinct personalities, each with unique abilities and weaponry. While a sequel has yet to materialize, even after a 2018 PC remaster, Suda51 voiced his interest in a "Complete Edition," an idea Mikami jokingly dismissed as "lame." However, the discussion revealed that unreleased Coyote dialogue could be incorporated into such a release.
The prospect of a sequel or complete edition has energized fans. While nothing is confirmed, the developers' expressed interest has ignited considerable excitement. The final decision, according to Suda51, rests on which project – Killer7: Beyond or the Complete Edition – takes priority.
