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. Let's delve into their discussion about this cult classic.
Mikami and Suda Hint at a Killer7 Sequel and Remaster
Killer7: A New Chapter or a Definitive Edition?
During yesterday's Grasshopper Direct, primarily focused on the upcoming *Shadows of the Damned* remaster, the conversation turned to the future of *Killer7*. Mikami openly stated his desire for a sequel, calling the original one of his personal favorites.Suda51 shared Mikami's enthusiasm, suggesting a sequel might one day materialize. He even tossed around potential 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 following despite lacking a sequel. While a PC remaster launched in 2018, Suda51 revealed a preference for a "Complete Edition" to fully realize his initial vision. Mikami playfully countered that idea as "lame," but the team clarified that this would involve restoring extensive cut dialogue for the character Coyote.
The prospect of a sequel or complete edition sent fans into a tizzy. Although nothing is confirmed, the developers' excitement alone has generated considerable buzz.
Mikami suggested a Complete Edition would be well-received, to which Suda51 replied, "We'll have to decide – Killer7: Beyond or the Complete Edition first."
