Lollipop Chainsaw Remake Is Now Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, Delayed to 2024

Among the several games that are considered guilty pleasures, Grasshopper Manufacture’s Lollipop Chainsaw ranks high in the leaderboard. While a sequel remains a dream for many, a remake of the original was announced in 2022, but news have been slim since then. Now, we finally have a couple of updates for the Lollipop Chainsaw remake, including the definitive name and a delay.

According to info coming straight from Yoshimi Yasuda, Lollipop Chainsaw producer at Dragami Games, The Lollipop Chainsaw remake Is now titled Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, and the release date was postponed from the planned 2023 to summer 2024. We still don’t know much about Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, especially the target platforms.

One of the announcements on Twitter reads the following:

The official title is “Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP.” We are working hard on game development, but we need a little more time. We will do our best to create the game that you will love, so we ask for your continued support.

And the other announcement gives us some more context on the new release date:

[…] the release date will be postponed from 2023 to the summer of 2024. We will do our best to make high quality games, so please continue to support us…!!!

Lollipop Chainsaw released in June 2012 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, developed by Grasshopper Manufacture under the clinical eye of Suda 51 and with the input of co-writer James Gunn. However, none of them will be working on this remake, as Gunn confirmed in a tweet from July 2022:

To answer the question in the article, neither I nor @suda_51 are currently involved in this. I heard about it for the first time from Suda a couple weeks ago.

Considering that this is a remake, their influence in the new game may not be really necessary to a certain extent, so hopefully Dragami Games will be able to deliver a terrific update to this hack-and-slash game with the coolest cheerleader of all time.
