Dragami Games producer Yoshimi Yoshida confirms that Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP will include new and original costumes. A screenshot featuring a kunoichi costume for Lollipop Chainsaw protagonist Juliet was also revealed.
Lollipop Chainsaw remake is one of Dragami Games’ first projects following the studio’s founding in May 2022. In August 2023, Dragami Games retitled the remake to Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP and delayed its release to 2024. The studio also confirmed that Juliet will have new original costumes and an uncensored costume.
New Original Costumes in Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP
The latest tweet from producer Yoshimi Yoshida confirms that Juliet will have original costumes in Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP since “it’s difficult to play with copyrighted costumes.” This likely means that the studio is unable to feature copyright costumes from the original Lollipop Chainsaw, so new original costumes are being developed for the remake.
Yoshimi also shared an image of one of Juliet’s costumes:
Dragami Games has not revealed platforms for the upcoming remake of Lollipop Chainsaw just yet. The original game was developed by Grasshopper Manufacture, which is led by Suda-51. Lollipop Chainsaw released on June 12, 2012 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 worldwide.
Although original developer Grasshopper Manufacture is not directly involved with development of the remake, fans may look forward to a new Shadows of the Damned remaster. The remaster is “probably” coming to all platforms according to the studio.
Lastly, here’s an overview of Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP from the Xbox 360 Marketplace:
Bursting with sex, blood, and rock ‘n’ roll, Lollipop Chainsaw is the ‘un-deadly’ story of a sweet and killer zombie hunter and her quest to uncover the root of a colossal zombie outbreak. With her wickedly awesome chainsaw in hand, Juliet slices, dices and splits her way through hordes of the undead, but soon realizes the horde is only the opening act to a festival of zombie rock lords determined to kill the chainsaw wielding cheerleader.
