Resident Evil Creator Wants Cult Classic, Killer7, to Get a Sequel By Suda51

Resident Evil mastermind Shinji Mikami recently expressed his strong desire for a Killer7 sequel during a presentation alongside the game's creator, Goichi "Suda51" Suda. This exciting news has sent ripples through the gaming community, sparking renewed interest in this cult classic.

Mikami and Suda Tease Killer7 Sequel and Complete Edition

Killer7: Beyond or Killer11?

Suda51 enthusiastically agreed, hinting at the possibility of a sequel, playfully suggesting titles like "Killer11" or "Killer7: Beyond."

Killer7, a 2005 action-adventure game released for GameCube and PlayStation 2, blends horror, mystery, and Suda51's signature over-the-top violence. The game follows Harman Smith, a man capable of manifesting seven distinct personalities, each with unique abilities and weapons. Despite its cult following and a 2018 PC remaster, a sequel has remained elusive. However, Suda51 revealed a desire to revisit the original vision, suggesting a "Complete Edition" of Killer7, an idea Mikami playfully dismissed as "kind of lame." The discussion revealed that the original vision included extensive unused dialogue for the character Coyote, which could be incorporated into this Complete Edition.

The prospect of both a sequel and a complete edition has ignited considerable fan excitement. While no firm commitments have been made, the developers' enthusiasm alone is enough to fuel speculation and anticipation for the future of Killer7.

The conversation concluded with Suda51 stating, "We’d have to decide which comes first, Killer7: Beyond or the Complete Edition," leaving the ultimate decision, and the future of Killer7, tantalizingly open.
