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. Still, the game seems to have stuck around in the public consciousness.Yasuda teased that the game would make some kind of return last month, to celebrate its 10th anniversary. It garnered mixed reviews at launch and failed to generate big enough sales to warrant a sequel.

It was a typically unusual entry from creator Suda51, with a script worked on by James Gunn. Lollipop Chainsaw stars an American cheerleader in a skimpy outfit who chops up zombies while aided by her former boyfriend Nick - now a disembodied head. Please look forward to the game's 2023 release." "Our goal is to make it easier for games who want to play Lollipop Chainsaw to do so. "As such, we purchased the Lollipop Chainsaw intellectual property from Kadokawa Games, and decided to develop a remake. "We, the original development staff on Lollipop Chainsaw, think of the game as very precious to us, and did not want to leave it in limbo, where players who want to play it cannot," Yasuda continued. (The game is one of few titles notably absent from Microsoft's Xbox backwards compatibility programme - perhaps due to those music licensing issues.) "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," Yasuda wrote, announcing the project today (thanks, Automaton Media). The remake is being developed by a combination of veteran Lollipop Chainsaw staff and newcomers, and will feature "more realistic" visuals.ĭue to licensing issues, the game will largely feature a new soundtrack, Dragami Games said.
