Dragami Games, the developer and publisher of the much-anticipated game Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, has just announced that pre-orders are officially open. Fans of the original 2012 game and new players alike can now reserve their copy exclusively for the PlayStation 5. The pre-order launch, coupled with the release of a vibrant new gameplay trailer, has sparked excitement across the gaming community.
The remastered game is available on the PlayStation Store priced at $44.99 in the US and £39.99 in the UK. A special promotion offers a 10% discount to PlayStation Plus members, making it an attractive buy for subscribers looking to add this quirky title to their collection.
Lollipop Chainsaw, the brainchild of Grasshopper Manufacture, was initially released over a decade ago and quickly gained a cult following due to its unique blend of humor, horror, and action. In the game, players step into the shoes of Juliet, a chainsaw-wielding cheerleader who finds herself in the middle of a zombie apocalypse at her high school. The game stood out for its distinctive art style, over-the-top narrative, and vibrant presentation.
The remastered version, titled Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, preserves the essence of the original while introducing several enhancements and new features. One of the most talked-about additions is the "RePOP mode." This alternative gameplay option swaps out the original's blood and gore for more whimsical visual effects, catering to players who prefer a less graphic experience.
Moreover, the remaster promises various quality-of-life improvements that intend to streamline gameplay and enhance user experience. Enhanced graphics and upgraded sound quality are also central to the new release, aiming to leverage the advanced capabilities of the PlayStation 5 to bring Juliet's zombie-slaying adventures to life with greater detail and vibrancy than before.
To give fans a taste of what’s to come, Dragami Games released a new gameplay trailer alongside the announcement of the pre-orders. Spanning approximately three minutes, the trailer showcases the updated graphics, the dynamic combat system, and the newly implemented RePOP mode. With its punchy, fast-paced editing and a showcase of the colorful, action-packed sequences, the trailer has successfully amped up the anticipation amongst the gaming community.
Here is where you can see the trailer, which displays all the new features and the exhilarating action players can expect from the game:
