Resident Evil's mastermind, Shinji Mikami, recently voiced his strong support for a Killer7 sequel during a Grasshopper Direct presentation. Let's delve into the exciting news shared by Mikami and Suda51 regarding this cult classic.

Mikami and Suda Hint at Killer7 Sequel and Remaster

Killer7: Beyond or Killer11? The Sequel Speculation

During the presentation, primarily focused on the upcoming Shadows of the Damned remaster, the conversation turned to future projects. Mikami openly expressed his desire for a Killer7 sequel, calling it a personal favorite. Suda51, the creative force behind Killer7, mirrored this enthusiasm, suggesting a sequel might indeed be on the horizon. He even tossed around potential titles like "Killer11" or "Killer7: Beyond."

Killer7, a 2005 action-adventure game for GameCube and PlayStation 2, captivated players with its blend of horror, mystery, and Suda51's signature over-the-top style. The game follows Harman Smith, a man capable of manifesting seven distinct personalities, each with unique abilities and weaponry. Despite its cult following, a sequel has remained elusive. Even after the 2018 PC remaster, Suda51 has voiced his interest in revisiting and expanding upon his original vision.

Suda51 proposed a "Complete Edition" of Killer7, an idea Mikami playfully dismissed as "lame." However, the discussion revealed that the original vision included extensive dialogue for the character Coyote, a potential addition to this Complete Edition.

The possibility of both a sequel and a complete edition has ignited considerable excitement among fans. While nothing is confirmed, the developers' enthusiasm alone is enough to fuel anticipation for the future of Killer7.

Mikami believes a Complete Edition would be well-received, to which Suda51 replied, "We’ll have to decide which comes first, Killer7: Beyond or the Complete Edition."
