Dragami Games president Yoshimi Yasuda reveals new Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP art by Nekoshowgun, the original character designer of Lollipop Chainsaw. Yasuda also confirms that Nekoshowgun will be the character designer for the upcoming remaster.
Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP was initially 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.
Nekoshowgun Returns for Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Art and Character Designs
The character designs for Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP will continue to be done by Nekoshowgun, and she also designed the game’s new loading screen visuals.
“The character design for RePOP continues to be done by the character designer of the original version, Nekoshowgun,” Yasuda said on Twitter. “She worked with us to create the original character design for Juliet. The loading screen of RePOP has been redesigned with new visuals drawn by Nekoshowgun, so be on the lookout for that.”
Previously, Yasuda mentioned in a December 2023 interview that the developers will “walk the righteous path” by carrying over the well-received elements of the original Lollipop Chainsaw game. The developer re-confirms that Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP will be released on modern platforms in 2024.
Moreover, Dragami Games 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.
Lastly, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP is currently in development with a planned release for summer 2024.
