Dragami Video games firm president Yoshimi Yasuda has introduced that the sport design for the upcoming Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP remake has been modified from a remake to a remaster, “based mostly in your requests.” Extra particulars weren’t revealed. The sport was just lately delayed to summer season 2024. Lollipop Chainsaw first launched on June 12, 2012 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. In response to Yasuda “despite the fact that the unique workers are engaged on the [remaster], there can be components which can be completely different from the unique.”
Particulars of the upcoming remake from the unique announcement by way of producer Yoshimi Yasuda:
14 years have handed since I began the Lollipop Chainsaw challenge.
Lollipop Chainsaw was born because of Suda 51 discussing creating a brand new recreation with me. I noticed nice potential in Grasshopper Manufacture‘s proposal, and only one month after Kadokawa Video games was based April 2009, we began the event challenge on Lollipop Chainsaw, in Could 2009.
As Suda-san was very busy dealing with growth on different initiatives on the time, I served as director and producer, making a joint growth workforce consisting of workers from Grasshopper Manufacture and Kadokawa Video games, overseeing growth straight. Suda-san regarded over the sport design and supervised the challenge as an government producer.
In January 2010, the help of a good friend of mine working at Warner Bros. led to us efficiently greedy an opportunity with the Warner Bros. greenlight committee, and Warner Bros. thus turning into the writer for the sport in all areas outdoors of Asia. Moreover, a Warner Bros. senior supervisor recommended that we’ve the sport’s script rewritten, and that we depart it to movie director James Gunn, which we gladly agreed to.
All of this luck resulted in Lollipop Chainsaw, which launched in June 2012, being beloved by many gamers everywhere in the world, promoting over one million models worldwide.
Sadly, numerous elements resulted in issues making it in order that followers can not simply play Lollipop Chainsaw, and it has been a while since gamers haven’t been capable of entry the sport on present consoles.
We, the unique growth workers on Lollipop Chainsaw, consider the sport as very treasured to us, and didn’t need to depart it in limbo, the place gamers who need to play it can not. As such, we bought the Lollipop Chainsaw mental property from Kadokawa Video games, and determined to develop a remake. We’ve already contacted Warner Bros. about growth, and are being supported by them on this endeavor.
One factor that we’ve to inform followers of the unique recreation is that despite the fact that the unique workers are engaged on the remake, there can be components which can be completely different from the unique. As an example, the unique recreation had 15 licensed songs used within the soundtrack, however it’s sadly troublesome for us to implement all of them this time. In consequence, apart from a couple of licensed tracks, the soundtrack will consist of recent music. Moreover, since we’ve entry to consoles with increased specs, we can be taking a extra reasonable strategy to the graphics this time.
In any case, our aim is to make it simpler for avid gamers who need to play Lollipop Chainsaw to take action. Please look ahead to the sport’s 2023 launch.
Sincerely,
Lollipop Chainsaw Producer
