Lollipop Chainsaw's remaster is arriving in September
Lollipop Chainsaw RePop, a remaster of Grasshopper Manufacture's 2012 hack-and-slash title, has received a new trailer and will be released later this year on all major platforms.
The details:
The remaster, releasing on September 25 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and Steam, will not feature input from original director Goichi "Suda51" Suda or writer James Gunn. However, a physical version will be available in the future, according to its producer, Yoshimi Yasuda.
RePop, developed by Dragami Games, will not include any story changes, according to Yasuda, and will instead focus on "quality-of-life improvements and additional gameplay content." Some enhancements include faster load times, a copyright-free streamer mode, a better camera, 4K resolution and 60 FPS for PS5, PC, and Xbox, and full HD 30FPS for Switch.
Players can also select between the original mode and the RePop mode, which contains significantly less blood and gore and instead features more pop-art-inspired effects. It was also confirmed that the release will include both new and old outfits for its zombie cheerleader protagonist, Juliet Starling.
