Lollipop Chainsaw: RePOP launches on September 25 for worldwide audiences and September 26 for Japan. It will be at a lower price of $49.99. The developer Dragami Games has also confirmed there will be a physical release. We’ll have to wait a bit longer for that, however, as the game will be on store shelves sometime in October. Those in Japan and Asian regions will be able to pick up the physical copy from day one. More details will be given at a future date about the physical rollout.
For those who like to experience games in the developer’s language, there will be an option for Japanese voiceover within the game. It will also have the English dub.
Lollipop Chainsaw To Get Valentine’s Day Edition
Some remakes change the storyline of the original likeFinal Fantasy 7 Remake, but this won’t be the case with Lollipop Chainsaw: RePOP. According to the press release, it “is a definitive version of the game which leaves the story unchanged, with the focus on quality-of-life improvements and additional gameplay content.”
There will be two modes available to play in this Lollipop Chainsaw remake. There’s the original mode and RePOP mode. The press release says there’s going to be a “unique and colorful pop art-inspired art style for damage effects.”
Lots of Improvements for the Lollipop Chainsaw Remake
The official website says that the versions on PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC will support 4K resolution at 60 frames per second. The Switch version, on the other hand, will have a 1080p resolution at 30 frames per second. The developer also claims there will be shorter loading times than the original, so you may get to the zombie killing sooner.
Additionally, there are quality-of-life and gameplay changes that should make the experience better. Theofficial websitetouts there will be improved camera response, better keystroke response, increased attack speed from the number of gained attacks and a faster movement speed. The Chainsaw Blaster also supports auto-fire and has an increased ammunition number.
Those who hateQTEs(quick time events) may be happy to know they can be activated automatically. They’re actually set to auto by default, but you can turn them back on with the options menu. Zombie Baseball has also been rebalanced, so it won’t be as annoying to fans this time around. Lastly, like Hi-Fi Rush, there’s a streamer mode, which turns off licensed music and switches it with original songs.
Lollipop Chainsaw was fairly successful for a new IP a decade ago. Itsold over one million copiesworldwide. With a bigger audience in gaming than ever before, perhaps the remake could sell even better.
