Cult Classic 'Killer7' Sequel Teased by Resident Evil Creator

Resident Evil's mastermind, Shinji Mikami, recently expressed his strong desire for a Killer7 sequel during a presentation featuring the game's creator, Goichi "Suda51" Suda. Let's delve into the exciting possibilities discussed for this cult classic.

Mikami and Suda Hint at a Killer7 Sequel and Remaster

Killer7: A New Chapter or a Definitive Edition?

Suda51 shared Mikami's enthusiasm, suggesting a sequel is a real possibility. He even tossed around potential titles, playfully proposing "Killer11" or "Killer7: Beyond."

Killer7, a 2005 action-adventure game for GameCube and PlayStation 2, is a cult favorite known for its unique 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 their own abilities and weaponry. Despite its dedicated fanbase, a sequel has remained elusive. Even after a 2018 PC remaster, Suda51 expressed interest in revisiting the original vision.

Suda51 advocated for a "Complete Edition" of Killer7, an idea Mikami jokingly dismissed. However, the discussion revealed that the original game's concept included significantly more dialogue for the character Coyote, a detail potentially restorable in a complete edition.

The mere suggestion of a sequel or a complete edition ignited considerable fan excitement. While no firm commitments were made, the developers' enthusiasm alone has generated significant buzz surrounding Killer7's future.

Mikami concluded that a complete edition would likely be well-received, to which Suda51 replied, "We'd have to decide which comes first, Killer7: Beyond or the Complete Edition."
