Dragami Games has announced Lollipop Chainsaw Back2Back, a sequel to 2012’s Lollipop Chainsaw. Original protagonist Juliet Starling will return in the leading role, clad in a new outfit and wielding “even more power.” The game is set to release in 2027 for PlayStation 5.
This is the first time Dragami Games has revealed the title of the zombie hack-and-slash series’ new successor. The project was first teased in July 2025, when the developer announced it would be collaborating with Taiwan-based investment company Nada Holdings to produce a brand-new game and anime based on the Lollipop Chainsaw IP. At the time, Nada Holdings said it would be bringing back some of the development staff from the original 2012 title, though it did not specify any names.
Little is known about Lollipop Chainsaw Back2Back’s story and gameplay, but the title is set to debut with a playable demo during Tokyo Game Show 2026, at the Sega/Atlus booth.
To commemorate the new game’s announcement and its own second anniversary, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP (a 2024 remaster of the original) will be on sale for a limited time. The Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S versions are on sale from September 17 at 12 AM UTC to October 15 at 11:59 PM UTC. The Steam version is on sale from September 16 at 5 PM UTC to September 30 at 5 PM UTC. Sale periods for the PlayStation 4 and 5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and GOG versions are set to begin soon as well.
