Resident Evil's mastermind, Shinji Mikami, recently expressed his strong desire for a Killer7 sequel during a presentation alongside the game's creator, Goichi "Suda51" Suda. Let's delve into the exciting news surrounding this cult classic.
Mikami and Suda Hint at Killer7 Sequel and Remaster
Killer11 or Killer7: Beyond?
During a Grasshopper Direct presentation focused on the upcoming *Shadows of the Damned* remaster, the conversation turned to the future. Mikami openly stated his wish for Suda51 to create a Killer7 sequel, calling it a personal favorite. Suda51, sharing Mikami's enthusiasm, hinted at the possibility, 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 style. The game follows Harman Smith, a man who controls seven distinct personalities, each with unique abilities. Despite its cult following and a 2018 PC remaster, a sequel has remained elusive. However, Suda51 revealed a desire to revisit the original vision, suggesting a "Complete Edition" that would restore cut content, particularly extensive dialogue for the character Coyote.
Mikami jokingly dismissed the Complete Edition idea, but the team acknowledged the potential. The mere suggestion of a sequel or remaster sent fans into a frenzy. While nothing is confirmed, the developers' enthusiasm has sparked considerable excitement. The final decision, according to Suda51, will be between "Killer7: Beyond" and the Complete Edition.
