In May it was announced that Yasuda would be leaving Kadokawa and would be establishing a new company called Dragami Games, and now Yasuda has confirmed that a Lollipop Chainsaw remake is one of the company’s first projects. In a statement posted on Twitter, Yasuda said: “Unfortunately, various factors resulted in things making it so that fans can no longer easily play Lollipop Chainsaw, and it has been some time since players have not been able to access the game on current consoles.

Lollipop Chainsaw - 2012 launch trailerSubscribe to VGC on YouTube “We, the original development staff on Lollipop Chainsaw, think of the game as very precious to us, and did not want to leave it in limbo, where players who want to play it cannot. “As such, we purchased the Lollipop Chainsaw intellectual property from Kadokawa Games, and decided to develop a remake.

We have already contacted Warner Bros [who published the game outside Asia] about development, and are being supported by them in this endeavour.”
Yasuda added that while most of the original staff are working on the remake, some elements will be different from the original 2012 game. “For instance, the original game had 15 licensed songs used in the soundtrack, but it is unfortunately difficult for us to implement all of them this time,” he explained.

It doesn’t appear that the original game’s creative director Suda51 will be involved in the remake. When Yasuda stated last month that he planned to bring the IP back in some form, Suda made no mention of the announcement on social media, though he did celebrate the game’s 10th anniversary on Twitter the week before.

Lollipop Chainsaw was released in 2012 on Xbox 360 and PS3, and has never seen a subsequent re-release. The game is not backwards compatible on Xbox, and isn’t listed among the streamable PS3 games on the new PS Plus. As such, there’s no way to play it on either current or last-gen consoles, and there was never a PC release.
