Zombie hack-and-slash Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP gets September release date

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP – the rerelease of cult classic Lollipop Chainsaw, which sees highschool cheerleader Juliet fighting off scores of zombies while wearing her boyfriend’s severed head on her belt – has secured itself a release date.

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP will launch digitally for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, and PC via Steam on 25th September. A physical release will then follow, with developer Dragami Games stating more details will be released “at a later date”.

You can check out the first trailer for Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP below:

Described as the “definitive” version of Lollipop Chainsaw, RePOP will bring a number of quality of life features to the game, leaving the story itself unchanged.

These changes include reduced load times, adjusted input timings for Combo Actions and the introduction of an auto-fire mode for the Chainsaw Blaster.

The game’s chainsaw action has also been sped up thanks to the introduction of the Chained Hits Hunting system, in which “chaining multiple hits in succession increases the player’s attack speed”. Additionally, the team has added new costumes, chainsaws and hair colours.
