Lollipop Chainsaw is a bit of a thing in the Wheeler household. Kadokawa Games published Lollipop Chainsaw in 2012. “To add my two cents, like says, neither he nor I am involved in this project at all,” Suda tweeted, “and Grasshopper Manufacture has nothing to do with development or anything.” As Rachel reported yesterday, the remake will be handled by Dragami Games, a studio set up by the former head of Kadokawa Games, Yoshimi Yasuda.

But as articles are starting to slap our names on there, I think it’s important to make clear no one ever approached us about it.”

Responding to a question about whether he endorsed the game, Gunn said: “I neither endorse nor condemn it! I simply don’t know anything about it. “I heard about it for the first time from Suda a couple weeks ago.” “To answer the question in the article, neither I nor are currently involved in this,” Gunn said. Gunn was the first to address the remake, in reaction to a Bloody Disgusting article about the game. I’m gonna share the launch trailer again below just for the autotuned zombie boss bit that's so on point for 2012.īoth Suda51 and Gunn tweeted to confirm they weren’t involved with the project. You can kind of understand Gunn not being involved, considering the game’s already been written. The game’s co-writer, Guardians Of The Galaxy and The Suicide Squad director James Gunn, isn’t returning either. It has not yet announced which consoles it will be supporting.The remake of Grindhouse-meets-Sailor-Moon chop ‘em up Lollipop Chainsaw won’t see the involvement of original creative director Goichi ‘Suda51’ Suda and his team at Grasshopper Manufacture. Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP will be out in summer 2024. With Lollipop Chainse RePOP, they're finally getting one. Nevertheless, it became something of a cult hit, and fans have pined for a re-release as it has become harder to play on modern consoles. We weren't the biggest fans of Lollipop Chainse, writing in our original 5/10 review, "Lollipop Chainsaw doesn’t even attempt to differentiate itself from the genre, and most of what it does try new in the realm of its characters and writing ultimately ends up taking away from an incredible-on-paper action game." It's a remake of the original 2012 hack-and-slash action game from Grasshopper Manufacture, though neither Goichi "Suda51" Suda or writer James Gunn (yes, that James Gunn) are involved. Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP was first announced back in 2022. "We sincerely apologize to all who had been waiting for the latest installment in the Lollipop Chainsaw series, and kindly ask for your understanding in this matter." Lollipop Chainsaw has been delayed to summer 2024. "Although development of RePOP was carried out with the intention of a 2023 release, our commitment to providing the best possible quality experience to our players led us to making the hard decision to extend the development period in order to ensure this," Dragami Games wrote in a statement. It had previously been slated for summer 2024. Dragami Games revealed today that the remake will be titled Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP while also announcing that its release is being pushed back in summer 2023.
