Lollipop Chainsaw RePop is a remaster, not remake

Lollipop Chainsaw fans are expecting to see more news about the game, meanwhile producer Yoshimi Yasuda stated that Lollipop Chainsaw RePop is not like a remake, it’s a remaster.

What exactly will happen to Lollipop Chainsaw RePop?

Lollipop Chainsaw is a hack & slash games which you fight against zombies with your main character, Juliet. The game is currently only out for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. Most zombie game fans are expecting to play the game in the current platforms but it was nearly impossible, until last year.

Last year, we got news from Lollipop Chainsaw RePop. Which is the remake version of the game. But after a little time, Yasuda stated that Lollipop Chainsaw RePop won’t update the original’s story or aesthetics. “We want to make it so that the game can be as close to the original version as possible,” Yasuda said, echoing the only major aspect which will be changed is the game’s licensed music soundtrack.

“We have changed RePop’s game design from remake to remaster based on your requests,” Yasuda wrote on X, formerly Twitter. Yasuda did not elaborate further on what this means for the game.

Developer Dragami Games originally intended to release Lollipop Chainsaw RePop this year but announced a delay to summer 2024 in August. The extra time for development is needed to ensure RePop reaches “the best possible quality experience,” Dragami said.

Dragami has shown little of the remaster publicly. The studio hasn’t announced platforms for the release yet, though at the beginning of the year it gave us our first look at protagonist Juliet Starling.

Lollipop Chainsaw RePop is expected to be released in 2024.
