Resident Evil's Mikami and Killer7's Suda51 Hint at Sequel and Remaster
During a recent Grasshopper Direct presentation focused on the Shadows of the Damned remaster, Shinji Mikami (Resident Evil creator) and Goichi "Suda51" Suda (Killer7 creator) sparked excitement among fans by discussing the possibility of both a Killer7 sequel and a complete edition of the cult classic.
Killer7: A Sequel or a Remaster?
Mikami openly expressed his desire for Suda51 to create a Killer7 sequel, citing it as a personal favorite. Suda51, reciprocating the enthusiasm, hinted at the possibility, playfully suggesting titles like "Killer11" or "Killer7: Beyond."
Killer7, a 2005 action-adventure game blending horror, mystery, and Suda51's signature over-the-top style, has a dedicated fanbase despite lacking a sequel. While a PC remaster was released in 2018, Suda51 proposed a "Complete Edition" to fully realize his original vision, specifically restoring extensive cut dialogue for the character Coyote. Mikami, while playfully dismissing the idea as "lame," acknowledged the potential appeal of a Complete Edition.
The conversation concluded with Suda51 acknowledging the choice between developing Killer7: Beyond or the Complete Edition first, leaving fans eagerly anticipating future announcements. The developers' shared enthusiasm alone has reignited interest in the future of this unique and stylish title.
