Hey there, fellow gamers! We’ve got some electrifying news straight from the realm of undead-slaying action. The long-awaited Lollipop Chainsaw remake, now known as Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, has emerged from the shadows… only to do a little dance and push its release to the summer of 2024. Yeah, we know, the wait just got real, but trust us, it’s gonna be worth it!
Remember Juliet Starling? That chainsaw-wielding cheerleader who’s not afraid to take on a horde of zombies with her trusty weapon and her boyfriend’s chatty severed head? Well, she’s making a comeback, and this time, she’s all set to shine in a revamped adventure brought to you by Dragami Games.
The journey of Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP has been a rollercoaster of surprises. It kicked off in June 2022 when the gaming community got word that something wickedly awesome was “back” on the radar. Fast forward a month, and we learned it’s not just a remaster—it’s a full-fledged remake led by the original producer, Yoshimi Yasuda. But hold up, no name, no platforms, and definitely no sneak peeks? The suspense was killing us! 🕶️💥
Cut to today, where we’ve got a name: Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP. And if you’re wondering about the sudden release delay to summer 2024, don’t worry—it’s all in the name of perfecting the gaming experience. Yasuda himself dropped us a line, apologizing for the wait and promising that they’re crafting a game that’ll steal our hearts (and maybe a few zombie heads). Our continued support means the world to them—so let’s keep that hype alive! 👾🚀
Oh, and here’s the cherry on top: platforms! While it’s been a secret up until now, the original Lollipop Chainsaw graced PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. But guess what? RePOP might just march onto our beloved PCs too, marking Juliet’s debut on the platform. Talk about leveling up!
For those who missed out on the first Lollipop Chainsaw, let us fill you in. This cult classic stars a sassy cheerleader who’s not just shaking her pom-poms—she’s slicing and dicing through undead foes in her school. Picture this: a chainsaw in one hand, her beau’s animated noggin in the other. It’s like a zombie prom with a twist! 🩰🩸
The charm that oozes from every pixel of Lollipop Chainsaw’s grindhouse aesthetic? Thank Suda51, the eccentric Japanese developer, and the witty writing of a then-lesser-known James Gunn (yep, the Guardians of the Galaxy maestro). And did you know it also kickstarted Jessica Nigri’s path to cosplay stardom? She embodied Juliet in the flesh as the game’s spokesmodel. Talk about taking character love to a whole new level! 🌟🎤
So, gamers, mark your calendars for the summer of 2024. Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP is coming to slice, dice, and laugh its way back into our lives. Keep those chainsaws revved and your undead dance moves on standby—Juliet Starling is gearing up for her grand comeback, and it’s gonna be a bloody good time! 🎉🧟♂️🪓
