Set on the West Coast of the United States, Lollipop Chainsaw is a title that blends over-the-top humor with a striking aesthetic of stylish violence.
Lollipop Chainsaw is a zombie action game originally released in 2012, known for its dark humor and graphic gore. In 2024, the remastered edition, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, was released to positive acclaim. With cumulative series sales surpassing 1.5 million units, the title has enjoyed enduring support from fans over the years.
In light of 13 years of continued fan support and cumulative sales exceeding 1.5 million units, NADA HOLDINGS and Dragami Games have decided to jointly launch a new IP development initiative for Lollipop Chainsaw. This initiative aims to further expand the franchise through multifaceted projects and cross-industry collaborations.
Under the strong partnership between NADA HOLDINGS and Dragami Games, development is already underway on a brand-new Lollipop Chainsaw title that both preserves and builds upon the appeal of the original. With a firm commitment to honoring the spirit of the original work, the development team includes key staff members who were involved in the previous title. The new project is also being developed with close attention to fan feedback.
As with the original, the new title aims to recreate a world rich in dark humor. The development process will prioritize staying true to the distinctive tone and spirit of the original work, without imposing excessive creative restrictions in the name of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion).
"Thirteen years ago, our original development team poured immense passion and creativity into creating Lollipop Chainsaw. Since then, the game has continued to receive tremendous support and love from fans. We are deeply grateful for this, and it moves us profoundly. To further expand the title and meet the expectations of our fans, Dragami Games has made the important decision to move forward with a new phase of IP development for Lollipop Chainsaw. The team at NADA HOLDINGS shares a deep affection and enthusiasm for the title, along with a proven track record in IP investment and development. Through this partnership, we look forward to working together to create new projects that carry on the spirit and charm of the original while bringing fresh value to the franchise," said Dragami Games President and CEO Shohei Sato.
"As a huge fan of Lollipop Chainsaw, I am truly honored and delighted to be involved in the expansion of this IP. Moving forward, NADA HOLDINGS will devote itself wholeheartedly to preserving the spirit of the original work and meeting the expectations of its fans. Together with Dragami Games, we are committed to developing a wide range of new projects," commented NADA HOLDINGS Chairman Joe Teng.
