The of the post says, “Official Title Announcement: Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP.
RePOP’s release delayed to summer 2024 for the best gaming experience.
Apologies to fans waiting for the latest Lollipop Chainsaw installment, thank you for your understanding.”
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. The studio hasn’t shared any footage from Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, though promises visual enhancements for the zombie-slaying action game.
