Dragami Games has finally unveiled the much-anticipated release date of the cult classic hack-and-slash game, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP. There are two release dates, meaning the earliest release will be made globally, followed by the release date for Japan.

Lollipop Chainsaw was first released in 2012 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game revolves around Juliet Starling, a cheerleader turned zombie hunter who battles the undead in a fictional California high school. In this remaster, you play Juliet, a descendant of zombie hunters, as she fights alongside her boyfriend and family to stop a zombie apocalypse starting in her high school on Juliet’s 18th Birthday.

The game features additional gameplay content such as the RePOP mode, where players use a unique and colorful pop art-inspired art style for damage effects. There are unique new chainsaws with distinctly different features that have been added. A Time Attack mode with a ranking feature has been added. The best part is that Juliet can try out 30 costumes, more than the original game’s costume count. Combined with the addition of 4 new hair colours and 4 new chainsaws, this adds up to 750 different possible combinations.

The game will support English and Japanese voice-overs, and English, Japanese, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Traditional Chinese text. The producer, Yoshimi Yasuda has previously confirmed that RePOP will feature the same voices as the original release and that the Japanese voices will be available worldwide.

Physical editions of Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP will be available in October worldwide, with more information to be announced at a later date.

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP will launch worldwide for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam on 25 September 2024, followed by 26 September 2024 for Japan.
