It was directed by Goichi Suda, known for games such as the <em>No More Heroes<\/em> series, and development was handled by his studio Grasshopper Manufacture. Yasuda served as a producer on the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game is set in a Californian high school and stars protagonist Juliet, a zombie hunter who must battle her classmates after they are turned into zombies. Juliet destroys these zombies by wielding the game\u2019s titular chainsaw and using a variety of nimble cheerleading moves. She is accompanied by her boyfriend, Nick, now a severed head after he was bitten by a zombie and Juliet decapitated him to save his life. As is typical of Suda games, <em>Lollipop Chainsaw<\/em> is packed with humor and exudes style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u300eLOLLIPOP CHAINSAW\u300f\uff08\u30ed\u30ea\u30dd\u30c3\u30d7\u30c1\u30a7\u30fc\u30f3\u30bd\u30fc\uff09PV\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YlmpNkHUN74?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Yasuda was formerly the president and CEO for Kadokawa Games, but in May of this year, he stepped down from his position and established a new studio named Dragami Games. The studio inherited the IPs of certain titles from Kadokawa Games, including <em>Lollipop Chainsaw<\/em>, which was published by Kadokawa in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game was published by Warner Bros. in the west, and it received a large amount of promotion at the time. 2022 marks ten years since the game was first released, and many who were involved in the project have recently looked back on their memories from that time. There were tweets by not only Suda, but also Jessica Nigri, Juliet\u2019s official cosplayer, and film director James Gunn, who worked on the game\u2019s story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Prof. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JamesGunn?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@JamesGunn<\/a> (PhD in Zombies) and I smashed our vibes together and made this game!<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JessicaNigri?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@JessicaNigri<\/a>&#39;s Juliet was impeccable!<br>Happy 10th Anniversary, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/LollipopChainsaw?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#LollipopChainsaw<\/a>! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/PCJQgD7zC7\">https:\/\/t.co\/PCJQgD7zC7<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3q4Y9Ztb26\">pic.twitter.com\/3q4Y9Ztb26<\/a><\/p>&mdash; SUDA51\/\u9808\u7530\u525b\u4e00 (@suda_51) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/suda_51\/status\/1536342855350104064?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 13, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The timing of Yasuda\u2019s tweet may have also been chosen to coincide with the ten-year anniversary, though what exactly he meant by the game \u201cbeing back\u201d is still unclear. Could they be creating a remaster or remake of the game? Or could it possibly be a brand-new sequel? It is also unknown whether Suda will be taking any part in this revival. Yasuda\u2019s tweet asked fans to look forward to it, and based on the tweet\u2019s response, there are certainly many gamers who are eager for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Head of Dragami Games Yoshimi Yasuda has revealed that Lollipop Chainsaw will be making a comeback.
