Cult Classic 'Killer7' Targeted for Sequel

Resident Evil's mastermind, Shinji Mikami, recently expressed strong support for a Killer7 sequel during a presentation alongside Goichi "Suda51" Suda. This sparked excitement among fans of the cult classic action-adventure game.

Killer7: A Sequel or a Complete Edition?

The Grasshopper Direct presentation, primarily focused on the upcoming Shadows of the Damned remaster, unexpectedly veered into a discussion about Killer7's future. Mikami openly declared his desire for a sequel, calling the original one of his personal favorites. Suda51, equally enthusiastic, hinted at the possibility, playfully suggesting titles like "Killer11" or "Killer7: Beyond."

Killer7, a 2005 GameCube and PlayStation 2 release, is known for its unique blend of horror, mystery, and Suda51's signature over-the-top style. The game follows Harman Smith, a man with seven distinct personalities, each wielding unique abilities and weapons. While a sequel has never materialized, despite a 2018 PC remaster, Suda51 proposed a "Complete Edition" to fully realize his original vision, an idea Mikami jokingly dismissed. However, the discussion revealed that substantial cut content, particularly expanded dialogue for the character Coyote, could be restored in such a release.

The possibility of either a sequel or a complete edition has generated significant fan excitement. While nothing is confirmed, the developers' shared enthusiasm suggests a future for Killer7 is a real possibility. The final decision, according to Suda51, rests on whether "Killer7: Beyond" or the Complete Edition takes priority.
