'Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP' Comes To Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox And PC Earlier Than Expected

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP is a remake of the 2012 third-person action game, the ‘un-deadly’ story of sweet and killer zombie hunter Juliet Starling and her quest to uncover the root of a colossal zombie outbreak.

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP is a definitive version of the game which leaves the story unchanged, with the focus on quality-of-life improvements and additional gameplay content.

Watch Juliet, a descendant of zombie hunters, as she fights alongside her boyfriend and family to stop a zombie apocalypse starting in her high school in “Juliet’s 18th Birthday.”

With her wickedly awesome chainsaw in hand, Juliet slices, dices and splits her way through hordes of the undead, but soon realizes the horde is only the opening act to a festival of zombie rock lords determined to kill the chainsaw wielding cheerleader.

Quality of Life Improvements

  • The resolution of the game has been increased to full HD, and load times have been greatly shortened.
  • The chainsaw action has been sped up with the introduction of the Chained Hits Hunting system, in which chaining multiple hits in succession increases the player’s attack speed.
  • The input timings for Combo Actions have been adjusted, to better fit players’ expectations.
  • Chainsaw Blaster action has been improved with the addition of auto-lock and auto-fire modes that can be toggled, and an increased maximum ammo count of 99.
  • The player can now immediately use Combo Actions at the start of the game.

Originally planned for September 25, 2024, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP is ahead of schedule, now planned for September 12, 2024.

Additional Gameplay Content

  • Separate from Original Mode, RePOP adds “RePOP mode,” which uses a unique and colorful pop art-inspired art style for damage effects.
  • Unique new chainsaws with distinctly different features have been added.
  • There are 30 costumes, more than the original game’s costume count. Combined with the addition of 4 new hair colors and 4 new chainsaws, this adds up to 750 different possible combinations.
  • Juliet’s Room has been expanded with more features.
  • A Time Attack mode with ranking feature has been added.

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP will also have a physical edition released worldwide. Further details are to be announced at a later date.

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP is coming to Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam) on September 12, 2024 at $49.99.
