Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Coming to Nintendo Switch 2 with Enhancements
Fans of the cult classic hack-and-slash game, Lollipop Chainsaw, have more reasons to celebrate. Developer Dragami Games has officially announced a dedicated version of their recently released remaster, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 console. This new edition is set to bring a host of technical improvements to the over-the-top zombie-slaying adventure.
Dubbed Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, this version will boast significant upgrades over its predecessor. Players can look forward to higher resolutions, smoother frame rates, and overall enhanced graphics, promising a more polished and visually appealing experience. A brief comparison showing these improvements is available in the debut trailer.
While the launch of the Switch 2 version is slated for November, attendees of Tokyo Game Show 2025 will have an exclusive early chance to go hands-on with the game from September 25-28. For those who already own Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP on the original Nintendo Switch, Dragami Games has confirmed a potential upgrade path to the new version. However, details regarding whether this upgrade will be free or paid are yet to be revealed.
Since its release a year ago, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP has sold just over 300,000 copies. Despite this modest figure, it hasn't deterred Dragami Games from expanding the franchise. The studio is currently working with Taiwanese company Nada Holdings on a brand-new game and an anime adaptation, signaling a strong commitment to the series' future.
Currently, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP is available on PC (via Steam), PlayStation, Xbox, and the original Nintendo Switch. The PC version is currently enjoying a 45% discount and holds a “Very Positive” rating on Steam, based on over two thousand user reviews, with 87% of players recommending the game. While the original release lacked Russian localization, it remains a vibrant experience for players worldwide.
This dedicated Nintendo Switch 2 release offers players another opportunity to experience Juliet Starling's quirky, chainsaw-wielding quest to save the world from a zombie apocalypse, now with improved visuals and performance. It's a clear sign that Dragami Games sees potential in the franchise and aims to provide the best possible experience across all platforms.
