Lollipop Chainsaw Remake Will Be Released in 2023
The project will keep some of the original staff but not the same writer and designer.
Yoshimi Yasuda, president and CEO of Dragami Games, has announced the Lollipop Chainsaw remake coming in 2023. Yasuda, who's the producer of the remake, said the development is supported by Warner Bros.
"One thing that we have to tell fans of the original game is that even though the original staff are working on the remake, there will be elements that are different from the original. For instance, the original game had 16 licensed songs used in the soundtrack, but it is unfortunately difficult for us to implement all of them this time. As a result, aside from a few licensed tracks, the soundtrack will consist of new music. Additionally, since we have access to consoles with higher specifications, we will be taking a more realistic approach to the graphics this time."
Yasuda said he purchased the rights to Lollipop Chainsaw from Kadokawa Games, which had published the game in Japan in 2012. He explained that the decision to revive the game was made because the fans "can no longer easily play Lollipop Chainsaw."
The original writer James Gunn and designer Suda51 are not involved in the development, at least for now, as stated by Gunn.
Lollipop Chainsaw is a hack-and-slash action game featuring a cheerleader that fights zombies. It's developed by Grasshopper Manufacture and released in 2012 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
The remake is set to be launched in 2023 but the details are not clear yet. To stay tuned, don't forget to join our new Reddit page, our new Telegram channel, follow us on Instagram and Twitter, where we are sharing breakdowns, the latest news, awesome artworks, and more.
