![]() In addition, Dragami will be “taking a more realistic approach to the graphics” for the remake, due to the increased power of modern consoles. Therefore, aside from “a few licensed tracks”, the soundtrack for the remake will consist of new music. The original game’s 16 licensed songs won’t all be carried over, due to (what else?) licensing. That being said, the Lollipop Chainsaw Remake will have to undergo a few changes, namely in the music. As such, the team “did not want to leave it in limbo, where players who want to play it cannot.” ![]() Yasuda says that the original Lollipop Chainsaw team “think of the game as very precious” and were concerned that fans were no longer able to play the game. In an official message to fans, Yasuda said he purchased the rights to Lollipop Chainsaw from Kadokawa Games, which had published the game in Japan back in 2012. And in case you were wondering, Yasuda has been in contact with the US publisher, Warner Bros., who are supporting the team in the remake. Tentatively titled Lollipop Chainsaw Remake, the title is slated for a 2023 release.ĭevelopment of the game will be handled by a combination of development staff from the original version (no word on if James Gunn or Lollipop Chainsaw‘s co-director Goichi “Suda51” will be involved), while Yasuda will serve as producer. ![]() Per Frontline Gaming Japan, Yoshimi Yasuda, president and CEO of Dragami Games, has officially announced that Lollipop Chainsaw is getting a remake. Speculation over what Dragami Games was hinting at last month with Lollipop Chainsaw is over. I heard about it for the first time from Suda a couple weeks ago. To answer the question in the article, neither I nor are currently involved in this. 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.Update: James Gunn took to Twitter to say that neither he nor Suda51 will be involved in Lollipop Chainsaw Remake. 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.
