Publisher Dragami Games has officially announced that Lollipop Chainsaw is in development and will release in 2023.
After a number of teases, Yoshimi Yasuda, the original game’s producer, has announced the cult classic action game will be getting a complete remake set for release next year. The game is being developed by a team comprised of talent that worked on the original and new developers from staff from Dragami Games. Yasuda also announced that he would be taking on the role of producer once again for the remake.
Within a statement posted by Yasuda, he said: “We, the original development staff on Lollipop Chainsaw, think of the game as very precious to us, and did not want to leave it in limbo, where players who want to play it cannot. As such, we purchased the Lollipop Chainsaw intellectual property from Kadokawa Games, and decided to develop a remake. We have already contacted Warner Bros. about development, and are being supported by them in this endeavor.”
