Dragami Video games firm president Yoshimi Yasuda has introduced that the sport design for the upcoming Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP remake has been modified from a remake to a remaster, “primarily based in your requests.” Further particulars weren’t revealed. The sport was not too long ago delayed to summer season 2024. Lollipop Chainsaw first launched on June 12, 2012 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. In keeping with Yasuda “although the unique workers are engaged on the [remaster], there will likely be parts which are completely different from the unique.”
Particulars of the upcoming remake from the unique announcement through producer Yoshimi Yasuda:
14 years have handed since I began the Lollipop Chainsaw mission.
Lollipop Chainsaw was born on account of Suda 51 discussing creating a brand new sport with me. I noticed nice potential in Grasshopper Manufacture‘s proposal, and only one month after Kadokawa Video games was based April 2009, we began the event mission on Lollipop Chainsaw, in Might 2009.
As Suda-san was very busy dealing with improvement on different tasks on the time, I served as director and producer, making a joint improvement staff consisting of workers from Grasshopper Manufacture and Kadokawa Video games, overseeing improvement instantly. Suda-san seemed over the sport design and supervised the mission as an government producer.
In January 2010, the help of a good friend of mine working at Warner Bros. led to us efficiently greedy an opportunity with the Warner Bros. greenlight committee, and Warner Bros. thus turning into the writer for the sport in all areas outdoors of Asia. Moreover, a Warner Bros. senior supervisor instructed that we’ve the sport’s script rewritten, and that we go away it to movie director James Gunn, which we gladly agreed to.
All of this luck resulted in Lollipop Chainsaw, which launched in June 2012, being liked by many gamers all around the world, promoting over one million models worldwide.
Sadly, numerous elements resulted in issues making it in order that followers can now not simply play Lollipop Chainsaw, and it has been a while since gamers haven’t been capable of entry the sport on present consoles.
We, the unique improvement workers on Lollipop Chainsaw, consider the sport as very valuable to us, and didn’t need to go away it in limbo, the place gamers who need to play it can not. As such, we bought the Lollipop Chainsaw mental property from Kadokawa Video games, and determined to develop a remake. We have now already contacted Warner Bros. about improvement, and are being supported by them on this endeavor.
One factor that we’ve to inform followers of the unique sport is that although the unique workers are engaged on the remake, there will likely be parts which are completely different from the unique. As an illustration, the unique sport had 15 licensed songs used within the soundtrack, however it’s sadly troublesome for us to implement all of them this time. Consequently, except for just a few licensed tracks, the soundtrack will consist of recent music. Moreover, since we’ve entry to consoles with larger specs, we will likely be taking a extra real looking method to the graphics this time.
In any case, our aim is to make it simpler for avid gamers who need to play Lollipop Chainsaw to take action. Please sit up for the sport’s 2023 launch.
Sincerely,
Lollipop Chainsaw Producer
