Resident Evil's visionary, Shinji Mikami, recently expressed his strong desire for a Killer7 sequel during a Grasshopper Direct presentation. This sparked a lively discussion about the cult classic's future. Read on for details on the exciting possibilities shared by Mikami and Suda51.
Killer7: A Sequel or a Complete Edition?
The Grasshopper Direct, primarily focused on the upcoming Shadows of the Damned remaster, unexpectedly delved into the potential for both a Killer7 sequel and a complete edition. Mikami openly declared his love for Killer7, stating it's a personal favorite and he'd "love to see Suda make a sequel."
Suda51, the creative force behind Killer7, mirrored Mikami's enthusiasm, hinting at a possible sequel sometime in the future. He even playfully 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 garnered a dedicated following despite lacking a sequel. Even after a 2018 PC remaster, Suda51 expressed interest in revisiting his original vision, suggesting a "Complete Edition" that would restore cut content. Mikami, while playfully dismissing this as "kind of lame," acknowledged that expanding on the original Coyote dialogue, a significant element of the original vision, could be a compelling addition to a Complete Edition.
The prospect of a sequel or a complete edition ignited considerable fan excitement. While nothing is confirmed, the developers' enthusiasm alone has fueled anticipation for the future of Killer7. The final decision, according to Suda51, rests on whether "Killer7: Beyond" or the Complete Edition takes precedence.
