Resident Evil's mastermind, Shinji Mikami, recently expressed strong support for a Killer7 sequel during a presentation featuring Suda51. This article delves into the discussion surrounding a potential sequel and a complete edition of the cult classic.
Mikami and Suda Hint at a Killer7 Sequel and Remaster
Killer7: Beyond or Killer11?
During the Grasshopper Direct, focusing primarily on the upcoming Shadows of the Damned remaster, the conversation turned to future projects. Mikami declared his desire for Suda51 to create a Killer7 sequel, citing it as a personal favorite. Suda51, mirroring Mikami's enthusiasm, hinted at the possibility of a sequel, playfully suggesting 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, controlling seven distinct personalities, each with unique abilities. Despite its cult following, a sequel has remained elusive. Even after a 2018 PC remaster, Suda51 expressed interest in revisiting his original vision, suggesting a "Complete Edition" that would restore extensive cut dialogue for the character Coyote. Mikami jokingly dismissed this as "lame," but the discussion highlighted the potential for expansion on the original game's content.
The prospect of a sequel or complete edition has generated significant fan excitement. While no firm commitments have been made, the developers' enthusiasm alone fuels anticipation for Killer7's future. The final exchange between Mikami and Suda51 left the decision of whether to prioritize "Killer7: Beyond" or the Complete Edition open-ended.
