Cult Game "Killer7" Sequel Teased by Creator

News of a potential Killer7 sequel has sent ripples of excitement through the gaming community, fueled by comments from Resident Evil mastermind Shinji Mikami. During a recent Grasshopper Direct presentation, Mikami and Killer7 creator Goichi "Suda51" Suda discussed the possibility of both a sequel and a complete edition of the cult classic.

Mikami and Suda Hint at Killer7's Future

Killer11 or Killer7: Beyond?

The Grasshopper Direct, primarily showcasing the upcoming *Shadows of the Damned* remaster, unexpectedly veered into a discussion about Killer7's future. Mikami openly expressed his desire for a sequel, calling the original one of his personal favorites. Suda51, mirroring Mikami's enthusiasm, hinted at the possibility of a sequel, playfully suggesting titles like "Killer11" or "Killer7: Beyond."

The 2005 GameCube and PlayStation 2 title, Killer7, is renowned for its unique blend of action-adventure, 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 unique abilities and weaponry. Despite its cult following, a sequel has remained elusive. Even after a 2018 PC remaster, Suda51 expressed interest in revisiting his original vision, suggesting a "Complete Edition" to incorporate cut content. Mikami, while playfully dismissing this as "lame," acknowledged the potential for a Complete Edition to restore extensive dialogue for the character Coyote.

The prospect of either a sequel or a complete edition has ignited considerable fan anticipation. While concrete details remain scarce, the developers' shared enthusiasm has fueled excitement for the future of Killer7. The ultimate decision, as Suda51 stated, rests on whether "Killer7: Beyond" or the Complete Edition takes precedence.
