Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP: A Glorious Return of Undead Slaying

Verily, after a dozen years of absence, fair Juliet doth embark once more upon her quest to vanquish the foul zombies in the realm of Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP. Come September 25, this digital marvel shall grace the realms of PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC alike.

In a wondrous unveiling on a Friday past, Dragami Games hath revealed a grand spectacle of gameplay and characters in this noble remake. Lo, some changes are plain to see — the eye beholds an increase in resolution, with 4K at 60 frames per second for PS5, Xbox, and PC, and HD at 30 fps for the Switch. The pace hath quickened, with swifter load times and a Chained Hits Hunting system that quickens attack speed when blows land true in succession.

Behold, the action-packed hack-and-slash adventure doth offer two modes: Original, faithful to the bodice of the original tale, and RePOP, bedecked with pop-art damage effects to soften the visage of violence. Juliet still doth cleave through throngs of undead and demons with her trusty chainsaw, yet now strikes do set agleam sparkles and radiant hearts. Witness this new fashion in the reel above.

Further enhancements grace this remodeled saga, such as an array of thirty garbs for Juliet, additional chainsaws of diverse powers, a real-time combat phase with six stages, and a tuning of balance throughout. Yea, even features for novice players, like the wondrous ability to activate auto quick-time events.

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP shall make its debut solely in the electronic realm for a sum of $50, though Dragami proclaims a physical edition shall rise at a later hour.

The birth of this remake was foretold in the year of 2022 by the executive producer of the original tale, Yoshimi Yasuda, and the heralded studio, Dragami Games. The erstwhile creators of the game, Suda51 and James Gunn, partake not in this remaking.
