Revival of PS2 Classics: Resident Evil and Lollipop Chainsaw Creators Eye Killer7’s Future
The gaming world was sent into a frenzy when legendary game developers Goichi Suda (Suda51) and Shinji Mikami casually dropped hints about a potential revival of the cult classic, Killer7. During a recent Grasshopper Direct stream focused on the upcoming Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered, the conversation unexpectedly took a thrilling turn.
A Dream Team Reunion
The mere mention of Killer7 by the duo was enough to ignite excitement among fans. Suda51, renowned for his over-the-top style and unconventional storytelling, and Mikami, the master of horror and action gaming, are a dream team that delivered one of the most unique and unforgettable gaming experiences of the PS2 era.
A Potential Killer7 Remaster
Mikami expressed genuine interest in collaborating on a Killer7 sequel, a proposition that visibly surprised and delighted Suda51. However, before diving into a sequel, the creators believe that a comprehensive re-release of the original game is essential.
Suda51 proposed a “Killer7 Complete Edition” that would include previously cut content, expanded character dialogue, and additional story elements. This enhanced version would serve as a foundation for a potential sequel.
The Future of Killer7
While the idea of a Killer7 sequel is undoubtedly enticing, the focus for now is on delivering a definitive version of the original game. Suda51 even playfully suggested possible titles for a sequel, such as “Killer11” or a subtitle that would distinguish it from the first game.
The gaming community has erupted with enthusiasm since the news broke. Social media platforms are ablaze with discussions, fan art, and speculation about what a Killer7 sequel or remaster could entail.
A Legacy That Endures
Killer7, despite its divisive nature, has cultivated a dedicated fanbase over the years. Its distinctive art style, complex characters, and innovative gameplay mechanics continue to resonate with players. A potential revival would not only satisfy existing fans but also introduce the game to a new generation of gamers.
While concrete details about the Killer7 project are still scarce, the mere possibility of its return is a cause for celebration. Suda51 and Mikami have proven time and again their ability to create unforgettable gaming experiences, and a return to the world of Killer7 is undoubtedly a prospect that excites both the creators and the fans.
