The creative director behind Resident Evil expressed his excitement for a sequel to Suda51’s Killer7 during a recent presentation. Read on to learn more about what the two creators discussed regarding the cult classic.

Mikami and Suda Hint at Potential Killer7 Sequel and Complete EditionKiller7: Beyond or Killer11?

Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami and Killer7 visionary Goichi ‘Suda 51’ Suda debated the prospect of both a sequel and a complete edition of the acclaimed Killer7 during yesterday's Grasshopper Direct.

The presentation mainly centered on the forthcoming Hella Remastered version of their 2011 game, Shadows of the Damned. However, when queried about future projects, Mikami stated, "I’d love to see Suda make a sequel to Killer7," as it is among his "personal favorite games."

Suda51 mirrored Mikami’s excitement, mentioning, "someday we may just see a Killer7 sequel." He jokingly proposed potential titles, such as "Killer11" or something similar to "Killer7: Beyond".

Killer7 is a cult classic action-adventure game that blends elements of horror, mystery, and Suda51’s signature excessive violence. Released in 2005 for the GameCube and PlayStation 2, the game follows Harman Smith, an elderly man who can manifest seven distinct personalities, each with unique abilities and weapons. Despite garnering a devoted following, the game has yet to receive a sequel. However, even with the game’s remastered PC release in 2018, Suda51 expressed a desire to further explore his initial vision.

"I’d rather make a Complete Edition of Killer7," Suda51 said. Mikami jokingly dismissed this idea as "somewhat uninspired." Despite the playful banter, the people at the table explained that the original vision for the game included extensive dialogue for the character Coyote, which could be restored in a Complete Edition.

The mere mention of a potential sequel and complete edition sent fans into a frenzy, eager to return to the game's stylish visuals and unique gameplay. While no concrete details have been confirmed, the developers' enthusiasm alone has ignited excitement for Killer7's future.

Mikami concluded that fans would likely appreciate a Complete Edition of Killer7, to which Suda51 responded, "We’d have to decide which comes first, Killer7: Beyond or the Complete Edition."
