Dragami Games has announced a significant milestone for its recently released remaster, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP. The game has officially sold over 300,000 copies worldwide since its launch last year. This achievement highlights strong player interest in the updated version of the cult classic action game.
A Sweet Success Story
The news comes from Dragami Games themselves, who expressed gratitude to fans for their support. Alongside celebrating the 300,000 unit sales figure, the developer also teased an upcoming special project. This new initiative is set to coincide with the remaster's first anniversary, which is expected next month, hinting at more exciting announcements on the horizon.
Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP previously crossed the 200,000 sales mark earlier this year, on January 10th. Since then, the developers have continued to support the game with updates, including the significant version 1.10. This update brought additional content, such as a challenging 'Nightmare Mode,' offering players new ways to experience Juliet Starling's zombie-slaying adventure across PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
Expanding the Lollipop Chainsaw Universe
Dragami Games is not only focused on the remaster's immediate success but is also actively working to broaden the entire Lollipop Chainsaw franchise. In a move to expand the series' reach, the studio is collaborating with Taiwanese company Nada Holdings on an anime adaptation. Furthermore, Dragami Games is also deep in development on an entirely new game set within the Lollipop Chainsaw universe, promising fresh experiences for fans.
The Original Creators Move On
Meanwhile, Grasshopper Manufacture, the studio behind the original Lollipop Chainsaw, is forging its own path with a new project. Led by the renowned Goichi Suda (Suda51), the team is developing a wild new action game titled Romeo is a Dead Man. This title was first revealed a few months ago during a State of Play presentation and is slated for release in 2026 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, promising the unique style Suda51 is known for.
What This Means for Players
The strong sales performance of Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP demonstrates the enduring appeal of the original game and the effective efforts by Dragami Games to bring it to a new generation of players. This success, combined with plans for an anniversary project, an anime adaptation, and a brand-new game, signals a vibrant future for the Lollipop Chainsaw franchise. Fans can look forward to more content, new stories, and continued adventures in this bizarre and beloved world.
