Lollipop Chainsaw 2 Back2Back is playable at the SEGA/ATLUS booth at Tokyo Game Show 2026, which runs from September 17 to 21 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan. Thus far, a PlayStation 5 version of the game was announced for a 2027 release.
TGS 2026 attendees can play the Lollipop Chainsaw 2 Back2Back demo to earn an original keychain while supplies last, and booth visitors will also receive a logo sticker. PeachMilky, cosplayer and official Lollipop Chainsaw ambassador, will also appear as protagonist Juliet Starling at the booth.

Here’s an overview of the game, via the PlayStation Store:
Juliet returns to a rebuilt San Romero, now transformed into “Jaredwood,” a sprawling metropolis built around the film industry. When a mysterious director traps her inside his twisted zombie movie, Juliet must fight alongside her allies, uncover the conspiracy behind the chaos, and stop a new threat posed by the Corrupted Realm zombies.
