Lollipop Chainsaw is making a return in some form

Lollipop Chainsaw is making some form of comeback it has been announced, with Dragami Games involved. Details of the project have not been given yet so it is unknown whether this is a remake or a sequel. The game was released in 2012 having been developed by Grasshopper Manufacture, with Goichi Suda, aka Suda51, and James Gunn collaborating on the project. It is Suda himself who confirmed the revival of Lollipop Chainsaw.

Lollipop Chainsaw has players take on the role of cheerleader Juliet Starling, who finds herself in a zombie apocalypse on her 18th birthday. Along for the ride is her boyfriend Nick. Well, his still living decapitated head that Juliet lopped off after he was bitten by a zombie. Luckily for him, Juliet comes from a family of zombie hunters. In the game, Juliet uses a chainsaw to kill zombies which disappear in sparkles. This feature would later influence James Gunn’s stylistic choice for 2021’s Suicide Squad when Harley Quinn goes on a rampage.

In our review, Tuffcub did not come away too impressed by the game, writing, “Lollipop Chainsaw features some of the crudest language ever heard on a video game, barely a moment goes buy without an insult being flung and this is perfectly demonstrated by the first boss battle. Zed, a punk rocker who attacks by uttering curse words which then appear on screen in huge letters and rush towards Juliette. You can literally be killed by the word ‘Cocksucker’.
