Dragami Games president Yoshimi Yasuda confirms that the company is developing a new game alongside Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, according to 4Gamer’s year-end developer interviews article. Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP will launch first in summer 2024, followed by the new game.
Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP was originally announced as a remake, but Dragami Games decided that the game would be better off as a remaster with vastly improved gameplay and features. For example, Yasuda notes that the Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP will have faster load times, improved playability, and new costumes.

According to Yasuda, Dragami Games will “walk the righteous path” by carrying over the well-received elements of the original Lollipop Chainsaw game into the release of Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP. The developer re-confirms that the game will be released on modern platforms in 2024. Moreover, the studio is developing a new game alongside Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP. This new game will likely be announced in 2025, so it’s still in an early stage of development. Yasuda did not share any more details about this game, however.
Here’s Yasuda’s excerpt from the 4Gamer interview, via Gematsu:
“In 2024, we will complete and release Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP,” Yasuda told 4Gamer. “By ‘walking the righteous path’ of carrying over the worldview and scenario from the original game that were so well received, while revising elements that users requested we improve and adding carefully selected new elements, we’re aiming to create a title that many players on modern hardware can fall in love with. And another thing—while we’re not at the stage where we can announce it yet, we’re developing a new title outside of Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP. I think we will be able make an announcement in 2025, but we’re aiming to make it a good game that will satisfy many players.”
Lastly, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP is currently in development with a planned release for summer 2024.
