Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP has received its first official trailer and a confirmed release date of September 25, 2024. Kadokawa Games successor Dragami Games announced the remaster in July 2022, set to reinvent Lollipop Chainsaw over a decade after its original release in 2012. Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP was initially intended to be a remake, but due to popular demand, company president Yoshimi Yasuda announced it would be remastered to preserve the nostalgic attachment to the original Grasshopper Manufacture title.
Lollipop Chainsaw starred voice-acting legend Tara Strong as Juliet, a high-school cheerleader fighting her way through a horde of zombies during an outbreak. Strong will be reprising her role as Juliet for Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, although it has yet to be confirmed if the old cast’s voices are being implemented through archived audio or re-recordings. Joined by the disembodied head of her boyfriend, Nick, 18-year-old Juliet must save her classmates from the apocalypse and be home in time for her birthday party.

Lollipop Chainsaw was a collaboration between game designer Goichi Suda (also known as Suda51) and filmmaker James Gunn, who worked on The Suicide Squad and the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy. Warner Bros. Entertainment was in charge of the game’s release outside of Japan, allowing Gunn to play a part in designing the story and characters for the universal release. The initial pre-order of the game included bonus outfits for Juliet, including the Pin-Up outfit, Goth Girl outfit, Foxy Funk outfit, and Ash Williams cosplay outfit. It has been confirmed that Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP will have a total of 30 costumes, including both original and new outfits for Juliet.
Besides Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, some other titles coming in September include Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, Prison Architect 2, and Matchbox Driving Adventures. If the remaster strikes a chord with fans, Dragami Games might even consider a Lollipop Chainsaw sequel in the coming years.
