Resident Evil's creator recently expressed strong support for a Killer7 sequel during a presentation, sparking excitement among fans of Suda51's cult classic. Let's delve into the details of this intriguing discussion.
Mikami declared his desire to see Suda51 create a Killer7 sequel, citing it as a personal favorite. Suda51 echoed this enthusiasm, suggesting a sequel was a real possibility, even playfully tossing around potential titles like "Killer11" or "Killer7: Beyond."
The 2005 action-adventure title Killer7, released for GameCube and PlayStation 2, blends horror, mystery, and Suda51's signature over-the-top violence. Players control Harman Smith, an elderly man with seven distinct personalities, each possessing unique abilities and weapons. Despite its cult following and a 2018 PC remaster, a sequel has remained elusive. However, Suda51 revealed a preference for a "Complete Edition" first, an idea Mikami jokingly dismissed.
The discussion revealed that the original vision for Killer7 included significantly more dialogue for the character Coyote, which could be restored in this "Complete Edition."
The mere suggestion of a sequel or a complete edition has generated considerable excitement among fans. While nothing is confirmed, the developers' enthusiasm suggests a strong possibility for the future of Killer7. The final exchange between Mikami and Suda51 left the ultimate decision – Killer7: Beyond or the Complete Edition – up in the air.
