  • Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP will release for PS4 and Xbox One in November 2024, following its release for current-gen platforms in September.
  • Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP offers new features like improved camera, input response, and voice options.
  • Last-gen console owners can expect a remaster of the hack-and-slash action game with added content and improved gameplay.

The remastered version of “Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP” is making its way to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, in addition to the already announced current-generation platforms. This is fantastic news for fans of the original game who are eagerly awaiting the release on their last-gen consoles.

The initial release of “Lollipop Chainsaw,” an action game developed by Grasshopper Manufacture in 2012, was a hack-and-slash adventure. The game’s protagonist, Juliet Starling, a spirited cheerleader, wielded a chainsaw to carve through swarms of zombies. With sales exceeding one million copies, “Lollipop Chainsaw” proved to be the studio’s most lucrative title financially. In commemoration of its 10th anniversary in 2022, Dragami Games announced a remastered version of “Lollipop Chainsaw.”

Currently, the head of Dragami Games, Yoshimi Yasuda, has disclosed that the title Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP is set to launch on PS4 and Xbox One as well. Earlier, it was announced that this game would be available for PC, Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, with a release date of September 25th. Yasuda clarified, though, that the versions compatible with last-gen consoles will become accessible in November 2024.

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Will Be Available For PS4 and Xbox One in November

Since Lollipop Chainsaw was initially launched on PS3 and Xbox 360, given that the current generation consoles haven’t been universally adopted by all gamers yet, it seems logical to continue selling the game on last-gen platforms. As of now, it remains undecided whether the previously announced Collector’s Edition of Lollipop Chainsaw will be made available for PS4 and Xbox One. This special edition retails for $150 and comes with a variety of items such as a 10-inch Juliet Starling statue, a Nick Carlisle keychain, a “Chop2Shop.Zom” sticker, the San Romero Knights High School Medal, and the game’s official art book.

As a gaming enthusiast, I’m super excited about Dragami Games’ confirmation of some fantastic updates for Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP! Beyond the visual enhancements, they’ve promised improved camera and input response, quicker movement speeds, fine-tuned abilities, unlimited ammo for my trusty Chainsaw Blaster, and plenty more! These changes should make the game smoother and more inviting, broadening its appeal to newcomers while still keeping the old-school fans engaged.

Interestingly, the remastered version of “Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP” offers four distinct voice choices for the character Juliet. Originally voiced by Tara Strong in English and Eri Kitamura and Yoko Hikasa in Japanese, fans who prefer the original voices can still enjoy them. A new addition to the cast is Yukari Tamura, known for her roles as Tenten in “Naruto” and Qiqi in “Genshin Impact”, who will now voice Juliet.
