Dragami Games has announced that Lollipop Chainsaw is receiving a full remake in 2023 with a more realistic approach to graphics and a brand new soundtrack (due to licensing reasons). The game will be created by a combination of original staff and brand new staff.
Yoshimi Yasuda, the original Producer who is also working on the remake said: “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.
“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. As such, we purchased the Lollipop Chainsaw intellectual property from Kadokawa Games, and decided to develop a remake. We have already contacted Warner Bros. about development, and are being supported by them in this endeavor.” Yasuda continued.
