And the identity of the two writers speaks volumes, as one of them previously created one of the most famous survival horror franchises…

Goichi Suda (aka Suda51), CEO of Grasshopper Manufacture, and Resident Evil director Shinji Mikami have said that Killer7: Complete Edition and a sequel would be a dream project for them. This was discussed during the Grasshopper Direct broadcast embedded below, where the developers also touched on their future projects. Originally released in 2005 for Nintendo GameCube and PlayStation 2, Killer7 was a stylish, aggressive game starring a wheelchair-bound assassin, Harman Smith, who has seven different personalities. He can bring them all to life. Which explains the game’s title.

Mikami said that he would like to remain closely involved in the game’s development and would be happy if Suda51 made a sequel to Killer7. He was surprised and said that it or Killer7: Complete Edition might happen one day. Mikami said that the most important thing is whether he wants to do the projects or not, and Suda51 confirmed that he would make a complete version of Killer7 first, and then Killer11. Mikami rightly asked if that would be the name of the game, and Suda said he didn’t know, but maybe it could be Killer7: Beyond. So he could only guess, which is understandable since it was a quick question he couldn’t prepare for.

In the current version of Killer7, Coyote’s character doesn’t talk much, but the original plan was to have a lot of dialog, and that might be fixed in the eventual new version of the game. That’s why Mikami said that Killer 7: Complete Edition might be eaten up by fans, because it would make it possible. Suda responded by saying that it should be decided whether Killer7: Beyond or Killer7: Complete Edition should come first.

So there are ideas, but they don’t decide on these projects…
