Back from the dead
The bombastic hack-and-slasherLollipop Chainsawis making a return, ten years after the original’s release. Yoshimi Yasuda, former CEO of Kadokawa Games (the original publishers of Lollipop Chainsaw)vaguely teasedthe game’s return last month during its 10-year anniversary, but it’s now beenconfirmedthat the remake is definitely happening and that Yusada will be returning to the series alongside his new studio, Dragami Games.

Couple of quick notes about the remake. Yasudasaysthat the remake will aim to recreate the original but with “a more realistic approach to graphics”. 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. 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.
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.
