The creative genius behind the iconic Resident Evil series, Shinji Mikami, recently expressed his eagerness for a sequel to the cult classic game, Killer7, during a captivating presentation at the Grasshopper Direct. His enthusiasm was matched by the game's original creator, Goichi 'Suda51' Suda, sparking excitement among fans worldwide.

Mikami and Suda Tease Potential Killer7 Sequel and Complete Edition

Killer7: Beyond or Killer11?

During the Grasshopper Direct event, which was primarily focused on the upcoming Hella Remastered version of Shadows of the Damned, the conversation veered into the realm of future projects. Mikami, a fan of Killer7, openly shared his desire for Suda51 to craft a sequel, calling it one of his "personal favorite games." Suda51 responded with equal fervor, hinting at potential titles such as "Killer11" or "Killer7: Beyond," leaving fans buzzing with anticipation.

Killer7, a groundbreaking action-adventure game, is renowned for its unique blend of horror, mystery, and Suda51's distinctive flair for over-the-top violence. Launched in 2005 on the GameCube and PlayStation 2, it follows the story of Harman Smith, an elderly man with the ability to manifest seven different personalities, each equipped with unique skills and weaponry. Despite its cult following and a remastered PC release in 2018, the game has yet to see a sequel. However, Suda51 has expressed interest in revisiting his original vision.

"I’d rather make a Complete Edition of Killer7," Suda51 mentioned during the event, though Mikami humorously dismissed the idea as "kind of lame." Despite their playful exchange, there was a serious undertone about potentially restoring extensive dialogue for the character Coyote, which was part of the original vision and could be included in a Complete Edition.

The mere suggestion of a sequel or a complete edition has set the fanbase ablaze with excitement, eager to dive back into Killer7's distinctive visual style and innovative gameplay. Although no concrete plans were announced, the palpable enthusiasm from both Mikami and Suda51 has sparked hope and anticipation for what lies ahead for Killer7.

Mikami concluded by suggesting that fans would likely appreciate a Complete Edition of Killer7. In response, Suda51 playfully pondered, "We’d have to decide which comes first, Killer7: Beyond or the Complete Edition," leaving the future of this beloved game tantalizingly open-ended.
