As teased final month, Lollipop Chainsaw is making a comeback as a full remake set to launch subsequent 12 months. The information was confirmed earlier at present by the unique recreation’s producer and director, Yoshimi Yasuda, over Twitter. A few of the unique growth staff can be on board, together with Yasuda. Nonetheless, whereas the announcement ought to get your chainsaw revving, there are some caveats. The Lollipop Chainsaw remake staff is aiming for “extra practical” graphics, and a few songs aren’t coming alongside for the journey.
In keeping with the message by Yasuda, the brand new recreation goes to look and sound a bit totally different. With trendy {hardware} being extra highly effective than that of 2012, the sport’s launch, the Lollipop Chainsaw remake will boast “a extra practical strategy to the graphics this time.” That’s fairly the hammer to drop. The unique recreation was removed from practical, with vibrant colours, glitter, and rainbows highlighting each zombie bloodbath. Maybe Yasuda means these results can be extra strong and prime quality, fairly than gritty and darkish. In any other case, the sport may lose its gaudy identification.
The Lollipop Chainsaw remake is dropping out on some songs, sadly. Yasuda mentions that the 2012 launch included 15 licensed songs, however it could be “tough for [them] to implement all of them this time.” As an alternative, the sport will embody some new tracks. Hopefully, the staff is not less than capable of hold “Cherry Bomb” by The Runaways. That was just about the theme music.
Lollipop lore
Yasuda launched right into a story of the unique recreation’s creation within the announcement. And there may be some fascinating lore to match the general weird recreation that’s Lollipop Chainsaw, the place you play as a zombie-killing highschool cheerleader. The sport started growth in 2009. It was created below joint growth by Grasshopper Manufacture and Kadokawa video games. With gaming auteur Suda51 busy with different initiatives, Yasuda and his staff oversaw Lollipop Chainsaw. Following Warner Bros. choosing it up for publishing, the script was rewritten by none apart from director James Gunn. The sport launched to respectable opinions, and gathered a small however loyal following.
The Lollipop Chainsaw remake is scheduled to reach in 2023, however no platform has been confirmed. Nonetheless, the impetus of the remake is to make the sport extra simply out there. I can see a PC launch being very seemingly.
