Huzzah?
A Lollipop Chainsaw remake has been confirmed by Dragami Games and is targeting a 2023 release on undisclosed platforms.
Rumoured late last month, Dragami today confirmed that it has purchased the IP from Kadokawa Games for the purposes of a remake.
“It has been some time since players have not been able to access the game on current consoles,” Dragami’s Yoshimi Yasuda said (via Automaton).
“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.”
Dragami has already confirmed that some elements will have to change; the game’s licensed soundtrack will not be reproduced in full, as an example.
We’ll have more on the Lollipop Chainsaw remake as it becomes available. The original was first released on Xbox 360 and PS3 way back in 2012; we reviewed it here.
