Resident Evil's Mikami and Killer7's Suda51 Hint at Sequel and Remaster

During a recent Grasshopper Direct presentation focused on the upcoming Shadows of the Damned remaster, a discussion between Shinji Mikami (Resident Evil creator) and Goichi "Suda51" Suda (Killer7 creator) ignited excitement among fans. The topic? The possibility of both a Killer7 sequel and a complete edition of the cult classic.

Killer11? Killer7: Beyond? The Sequel Speculation

Mikami openly expressed his desire for Suda51 to develop a Killer7 sequel, calling the original game a personal favorite. Suda51, equally enthusiastic, hinted at the possibility, playfully suggesting titles like Killer11 or Killer7: Beyond.

Released in 2005, Killer7 is a unique action-adventure game blending 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. While it has a dedicated fanbase, a sequel has remained elusive. Even after a 2018 PC remaster, Suda51 expressed interest in revisiting the original vision, suggesting a "Complete Edition" that would restore cut content, particularly extensive dialogue for the character Coyote. Mikami, while playfully dismissing the Complete Edition as "lame," ultimately conceded that fans would likely appreciate it.

The possibility of either a sequel or a complete edition has generated significant buzz. While no firm commitments have been made, the developers' expressed enthusiasm offers a glimmer of hope for the future of Killer7. The ultimate decision, according to Suda51, will be whether to prioritize Killer7: Beyond or the Complete Edition.
