Earlier this year, cult game developer Goichi “Suda51” Suda hinted at the possibility of Grasshopper Manufacture’s classic titles coming to the Switch. Not much has been said since, but new evidence has emerged suggesting that Killer7, one of those classic titles, will be coming to the console in the form of a remaster.
One of the most cult-classic of Grasshopper’s hits, Killer7 provided players with an eclectic mix of assassins, first-person shooting, and on-rails adventure when it first came out for the Nintendo GameCube and PS2 in 2005. Suda has expressed interest in making a Switch port of Killer7 in the past, but noted back in May that the chances of it happening weren’t as likely as with other games because different companies hold rights to many of the studio’s older titles.
However, that issue has apparently been dealt with in this case. This week, YouTuber Doctre81, who’s known for leaking info on unannounced games (and being one of the first to uncover evidence of The Witcher 3’s Switch port), discovered a LinkedIn page for a producer at Engine Software that is working on “an unannounced title in collaboration with a prolific Japanese game designer.” More specifically, the page includes a listing for a “Killer7 Remaster” for the Switch.
It actually wouldn’t be the first time Engine Software has worked on Killer7, as it partnered with Grasshopper to bring the game to PC in 2018. Until someone says otherwise, it’s safe to assume that it’s doing so again, and that Killer7 may return soon, potentially alongside another Grasshopper classic that was recently rumored to be heading to the Switch, No More Heroes.
Killer7 is available for PC, and rumored to be in development for Switch.
