New Killer 7 Images & Details

Capcom's Shinji Mikami revals new images and details on his super-distinctive action title.

Capcom recently unveiled some dazzling new images and intriguing details regarding their forthcoming Killer 7, produced in-house by Resident Evil guru, Shinji Mikami.

The GameCube-only title features striking art-shaded visuals, and chronicles the connection between two men whose intertwined paths develop into a compelling tale of fate, revenge, and altering personas.

According to the latest details, Killer 7 propels players into the consciousness of one man, and his seven different personalities, in an effort to stop a wave of disconcerting indiscriminate terrorism that is plaguing the world.

Players take on the role of Harman Smith, an unlikely assassin who lives life "at his own pace". Switching between seven different personalities, he employs each character’s abilities to terminate targets he deems "deserving to die".

Capcom also pointed to a list of 'characters' or 'personalities' on offer. Each persona has different strengths, special abilities and powers that help Harman through the game. The 7 personalities that comprise the "Smith Alliance" are:

• Galusian Smith - The clairvoyant leader of the ‘alliance’ who has the power to envision an enemy’s weak spot and can foresee various traps and scams
• Dan Smith - Strong and skilled, Dan has the ability to change weapon trajectories using telekinesis
• MASK De Smith - A gun wielding man whose masked appearance conceals his true identity
• Coyote Smith - Has the ability to physically move through objects
• Kaede Smith - The only female personality of the group. She is a very important pawn for Harman as her appearance reduces some of the risk of being an assassin.
• Con Smith - A child blessed with exceptional hearing. He uses his ability to hear his enemy’s pulse and ascertain their whereabouts.
• Kevin Smith - An independent personality that keeps to himself. He holds the key to Harman’s past.

Stay tuned for more details on this exciting project, until the game's Japanese release later this year.
