During the recent Grasshopper Direct showcase, in which more information was provided on the upcoming Shadow of the Damned: Hella Remastered, legendary Japanese creator Shinji Mikami stated that he would love to see Goichi Suda (better known as 'Suda51') create a sequel to the GameCube title Killer7.
The comments, covered by our pals at VGC, came toward the end of the presentation (37.54, to be precise) when both creators were asked to share information on upcoming projects. Mikami was rather coy and simply said "I've realised that I want to stay as hands-on as possible when it comes to game creation", before stating his desire to see Suda51 create a Killer7 sequel.

Suda51 seemed surprised at the comment, and confirmed that he'd be open to it, but would rather create a 'Complete Edition' of the original game first. Although Mikami initially dismissed this as "kinda lame", he admitted that fans would likely love to see a complete edition (yes, we would).
Suda51 then confirmed that Grasshopper is currently hard at work on a new action game with an accompanying story. Without sharing any further details, he stated that he hoped to share something on the project later this year.
Killer7 launched in 2005 for the GameCube as part of the 'Capcom Five'; projects that were intended to be exclusive to the GameCube under the supervision of Shinji Mikami. Most notably, Resident Evil 4 was also a part of the lineup, but went on to be ported to pretty much every platform under the sun. Killer7, meanwhile, saw a release on the PS2 at the same time as GameCube after Capcom noted poor sales on Nintendo's platform for its previous titles.

I hope that CAPCOM will sell killer7 IP to Suda/Grasshopper Manufacture one day. CAPCOM don't use it, anyway! Besides exclusive port for Steam, we haven't got anything since the game's PS2 port! Also, it's a crime that CAPCOM haven't ported killer7 to Switch.
Switch is looking a little barren right now. Killer 7 would be a nice addition to hold me over.
I am very down for this. Suda51 has never bettered Killer7.
Killer7 is great and all, but I'd prefer to see a remaster of Flower, Sun and Rain first. Saying that, anything Suda51-related is an auto-purchase.
Uhhh yeah that would rule actually. I know it’s more difficult than just snapping his fingers, but yes more Killer 7.
I’m very pleased that we got Sine Mora Ex, the Silver Case series, No More Heroes series, Lollipop Chainsaw, and Shadows of the Damned… but I’m insatiable! Killer 7 is my most sought port!
Would love to see a sequel to Killer7, but in the meantime definitely a "Complete Edition" on consoles (and Steam, but there's at least a port of it there) hopefully including Switch and/or Switch 2 for those who want to replay it and especially those who missed it back in the day, potentially me included!
PN03 would be cool too
I already went off on PushSquare, but man I love this game so much. Artistically, it is unmatched. Would LOVE a Switch port with gyro controls.
Killer7 was awesome and would be a great fit for switch!
We want the Capcom 5 back! Well capcom 4, the fifth one never even saw the light of day. New games for Nintendo platforms, a new RE, a new K7, VJ and yes even a new PN03.
I loved PN03. I'm probably the only one but I loved it.
An epic title for the next Killer 7 game might just be Killer 7-11 (Those in the UK might not get this reference)
Suda says 'Killer11' as a possible name for a sequel in the video, so he's definitely been thinking about it.
Didn’t killer 7 get remastered for pc a few years back just release that on switch still have my GameCube original not played it in a while
Killer7 was such an awesome and unique game, it got me through chicken pots back in 2006, when I got the game for Christmas. I want to buy it on Steam, but I'm still waiting for the Switch port to eventually arrive. Count me in for Killer11/Killer7 Beyond, or whatever it ends up being called!
I’ll buy a new version and a sequel.
@Gs69 You're right, I just checked and it's on Steam
CapCom has been killing it and that's because they are COMMITTED to the video game industry, unlike others I won't mention. They deserve our attention and respect as they are giving gamers what they want!!!
@mlt no, you are NOT!!!! I loved that game as well!! I don't think people understood the mechanics but once you do, OH BABY, it's time to DESTROY!!!
Last I recall, the only remaster for the game is on pc via steam with capcom’s involvement still in the credits
This should of happened already really, hopefully this time. I am pretty sure too that this, The Silver Case, NMH and Flower, Sun and Rain are in a loosely shared universe too. And since we have two of those on Switch already.....
@Smug43
EXACTLY! It's more like a character based 3d shmup really! Once you realize that, the mechanics and the whole aesthetic makes sense too!
Thank you whoever you are, you made my day a little better and tonight I'll be going home to play some PN03 knowing that like-minded people exist somewhere on the planet.
