Mikami and Suda Hint at Killer7 Sequel and Remaster

Killer11 or Killer7: Beyond?

During Grasshopper Direct, focusing on the upcoming *Shadows of the Damned* remaster, the conversation turned to future projects. Mikami declared his desire for a Killer7 sequel, calling it a personal favorite. Suda51, mirroring Mikami's enthusiasm, hinted at a future Killer7 sequel, playfully suggesting titles like "Killer11" or "Killer7: Beyond."

Killer7, a 2005 action-adventure game for GameCube and PlayStation 2, is renowned for its blend of horror, mystery, and Suda51's signature over-the-top violence. The game follows Harman Smith, a man capable of manifesting seven distinct personalities, each with unique abilities. While the game gained a devoted following, a sequel remained elusive, even after a 2018 PC remaster. Suda51, however, revealed a desire to revisit the original vision.

He proposed a "Complete Edition" of Killer7, an idea Mikami playfully dismissed. However, the discussion revealed that unreleased Coyote dialogue could be included in such a release.

The possibility of a sequel or a complete edition sparked immediate excitement among fans. Although specifics remain unconfirmed, the developers' enthusiasm is undeniable. Mikami suggested a Complete Edition would be well-received, leading Suda51 to conclude that the choice lies between "Killer7: Beyond" and the Complete Edition.
