Yoshimi Yasuda, currently the CEO of Dragami Games, served as producer and director on the original version, which was developed by his former studio, Kadokawa Games, in collaboration with Grasshopper Manufacture. Suda supported the project as an executive producer, and the story of the game was written by film director James Gunn, best known for films such as <em>Guardians of the Galaxy<\/em> and <em>The Suicide Squad<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The original was a very popular million seller, but much time has passed, and the game is no longer playable on current platforms. Dragami Games, who took over a portion of business duties from Kadokawa Games, acquired the rights to the series, and earlier this month, announced that they intend to develop a remake of the game (<a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/20220705-13807\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">related article<\/a>).<\/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\">To add my two cents, like <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JamesGunn?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@JamesGunn<\/a> says, neither he nor I am involved in this project at all, and Grasshopper Manufacture has nothing to do with development or anything. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ctLfTvk1yn\">https:\/\/t.co\/ctLfTvk1yn<\/a><\/p>&mdash; SUDA51\/\u9808\u7530\u525b\u4e00 (@suda_51) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/suda_51\/status\/1544512577786748928?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 6, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It was mentioned that some of the Dragami Games staff who are developing <em>Lollipop Chainsaw Remake<\/em> (tentative title) are people who also worked on the original version, including Yasuda himself. However, it was unclear whether Suda or Gunn would be involved in this new project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon seeing an article that questioned whether they would be involved, Gunn posted a tweet saying that neither he nor Suda are currently a part of the remake\u2019s development and that he only learned of it a couple of weeks ago when Suda told him about it. Suda followed up with his own comment stating that the two of them aren\u2019t involved and that Grasshopper Manufacture has nothing to do with development of the remake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gunn said that he neither endorses nor condemns the remake as he doesn\u2019t know anything about it. He believed it was important to make it clear that no one approached him or Suda regarding the remake.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220706-209422-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13855\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220706-209422-001.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220706-209422-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220706-209422-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220706-209422-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220706-209422-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220706-209422-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220706-209422-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220706-209422-001-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220706-209422-001-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>As the new title is a remake rather than just a remaster, there will be some elements that differ from the original version.
