Resident Evil's mastermind, Shinji Mikami, recently expressed strong support for a Killer7 sequel during a presentation alongside the game's creator, Goichi "Suda51" Suda. This sparked significant excitement among fans of the cult classic.
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 mirrored this enthusiasm, hinting at the possibility of a Killer7 sequel, even playfully suggesting titles like "Killer11" or "Killer7: Beyond."
Killer7, a 2005 action-adventure game blending horror, mystery, and Suda51's signature over-the-top style, has a devoted fanbase despite lacking a sequel. While a PC remaster launched in 2018, Suda51 revealed a preference for a "Complete Edition," an idea Mikami jokingly dismissed. However, the discussion clarified that this Complete Edition would incorporate substantial, previously unreleased dialogue for the character Coyote.
The mere suggestion of a sequel or a Complete Edition ignited fervent fan speculation. While no firm commitments were made, the developers' enthusiasm alone has generated considerable buzz. The final exchange between Mikami and Suda51 left the decision of whether to prioritize "Killer7: Beyond" or the Complete Edition open-ended. The future of Killer7 remains uncertain, but the possibility is undeniably exciting.
