Mikami and Suda Hint at a Killer7 Sequel and Remaster
Killer7: A New Chapter or a Definitive Edition?
During a recent Grasshopper Direct, focusing on the upcoming *Shadows of the Damned* remaster, Shinji Mikami and Goichi "Suda51" Suda touched upon the possibility of both a Killer7 sequel and a complete edition.Mikami openly stated his wish for Suda51 to create a Killer7 sequel, calling the original one of his personal favorites. Suda51 shared Mikami's enthusiasm, suggesting potential sequel titles like "Killer11" or "Killer7: Beyond."
Killer7, a 2005 action-adventure game known for its blend of horror, mystery, and Suda51's signature over-the-top style, has developed a devoted cult following. Despite its 2018 PC remaster, the game has yet to receive a sequel. However, Suda51 expressed interest in revisiting the original vision, suggesting a "Complete Edition" to flesh out the game's story, particularly expanding on the character Coyote's dialogue. Mikami playfully countered, suggesting this was a less exciting prospect.
The mere suggestion of a sequel or a complete edition has generated significant fan excitement. While no official announcements have been made, the developers' shared enthusiasm has reignited hopes for the future of Killer7.
The decision of whether a "Complete Edition" or "Killer7: Beyond" will come first remains to be seen, a point both developers acknowledged.
