A decade after its original release, Lollipop Chainsaw is set to return. Announced over Twitter, development for Lollipop Chainsaw is being handled by Dragami Games. Currently, there’s no announced release date, or even details about whether Lollipop Chainsaw‘s return entails a remaster or remake of some sort.
Originally released on the PS3 and Xbox 360, Lollipop Chainsaw came out to polarising reviews. Reviews of the game (including ours) praised its surreal tone and satire, while at the same time criticising its otherwise shallow gameplay and short length.
Originally developed by Suda51’s studio Grasshopper Manufacture, Lollipop Chainsaw‘s development also saw the involvement of the at the time obscure film director James Gunn. The game quickly got a cult following since its release, but the lack of a PC release and the march of time has largely left the game in obscurity.
Lollipop Chainsaw stars Juliet Starling, as she fights off zombies during a zombie apocalypse while carrying around the (still living) decapitated head of her boyfriend.
