It’s still unconfirmed whether this means that a Lollipop Chainsaw PS5 remake is planned alongside PC, Xbox Series, and/or Switch versions, or if it will only be available for PS4 and Xbox One.
Yasuda is particularly excited to rework the game on current-gen consoles:Īdditionally, since we have access to consoles with higher specifications, we will be taking a more realistic approach to the graphics this time.
This is why Yasuda’s Dragami Games purchased the Lollipop Chainsaw IP from Kadokawa Games and “decided to develop a remake.” He regrets that “various factors resulted in things making it so that fans can no longer easily play Lollipop Chainsaw” on current consoles, as the original game was released on PS3 and Xbox 360 in June 2012. We gave the original 2012 game 3 out of 5 stars in the GamesRadar+ Lollipop Chainsaw review, saying that despite the inherent joy of chainsawing zombies and its inventively funny script and soundtrack, the hack-and-slasher lacked variety, was too short on content, and wasn't good enough to "support its pedigree".ĭig into our list of the best action games to get your thrills.Earlier today, Yasuda shared a long statement on Twitter in both English and Japanese on the reasoning behind the remake of Suda51’s cute zombie slasher Lollipop Chainsaw. Gunn said on Twitter last year that neither he nor Suda are involved with the new version, adding that "I neither endorse nor condemn it! I simply don’t know anything about it." The remake is going forward without two of the key creative forces behind the original game: filmmaker James Gunn and game designer Goichi 'Suda51' Suda. However, we were unfortunately unable to include 16 of the licensed songs, which were a great part of the original game's feel, and so we are instead aiming for a remake that is as close as possible to a remaster." "Of course, the ideal thing to do would be to make a remastered version of the original game, changing nothing. "The primary goal of the Lollipop Chainsaw remake project is to make it so that players who wish to play Lollipop Chainsaw can do so easily, not to make a new Lollipop Chainsaw game," producer Yoshimi Yasuda said at the time.
