Writing about the original game's creation and its new return, Yasuda explained: "Unfortunately, various factors resulted in things making it so that fans can no longer easily play Lollipop Chainsaw, and it has been some time since players have not been able to access the game on current consoles. The cult action game was released in 2012, and saw game director Suda51, movie director James Gunn and Yasuda collaborate to present the story of Juliet Starling – a high school cheerleader caught amid an outbreak of zombies. Yasuda teased that the game would make some kind of return last month, to celebrate its 10th anniversary. Due to the power of new-gen hardware, the new game will feature "a more realistic approach to graphics." Less welcome for fans will be the news that music licensing issues means that, as opposed to the first game's 16 licensed tracks, in the remake, "aside from a few licensed tracks, the soundtrack will consist of new music." Juliet Starling in action in Lollipop Chainsaw. The game will aim to recreate the original, but Yasuda explained that the remake will feature a couple of key differences. It will be developed by "a combination of development staff from the original version, including Yasuda as producer, and new development staff from Dragami Games." SUDA51/須田剛一 July 6, 2022Īfter a tease last month, we have confirmation: Lollipop Chainsaw will receive a full remake in 2023.Īnnounced by publisher Dragami Games – which is led by the original game's producer, Yoshimi Yasuda – the game will arrive worldwide next year, although a formal title or platforms have not yet been announced. To add my two cents, like says, neither he nor I am involved in this project at all, and Grasshopper Manufacture has nothing to do with development or anything. There's also no confirmation about what platforms the Lollipop Chainsaw Remake will release on just yet, but with talk of new graphics and introducing the cult classic to those unacquainted with Juliet's chainsaw, we're feeling optimistic for a PC release.Gunn later tweeted that he neither endorses nor condemns the project, but wanted to clear up who is and isn't involved. He also shared that game’s original licensed soundtrack will be completely replaced with new music ("aside from a few licensed tracks"), which is a bit of a shame as the original had a handful of absolute certified bangers in there.ĭragami Games has also tweeted that development of the game "will be handled by a combination of development staff from the original version, including Yasuda, and development staff from Dragami Games," but there's been no mention of whether that includes Suda so far. It's not entirely clear what this realistic approach actually means just yet, but it sounds like it will be more than just a simple port. Yasuda says that the remake will aim to recreate the original but with "a more realistic approach to graphics". Originally developed by Grasshopper Manufacture (Goichi Suda's outfit), the game follows cheerleader Juliet in a skimpy cheer uniform ripping and tearing her way through hordes of flesh-eating zombies with her boyfriend Nick, a talking decapitated head.Ĭouple of quick notes about the remake. We didn’t have the, uhh, pleasure of playing Lollipop Chainsaw back in 2012 since it never released for PC, but there’s a good chance that this remake will also serve as a long-awaited PC port. If you never had the pleasure of playing Lollipop Chainsaw, watch the trailer below for a taste of the chaos. Yoshimi Yasuda, former CEO of Kadokawa Games (the original publishers of Lollipop Chainsaw) vaguely teased the game's return last month during its 10-year anniversary, but it's now been confirmed that the remake is definitely happening and that Yusada will be returning to the series alongside his new studio, Dragami Games. The bombastic hack-and-slasher Lollipop Chainsaw is making a return, ten years after the original’s release.
