Yoshimi Yasuda, the game director at Dragami Games, recently shared the first screenshots of Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. The reveal was noted by Attention, while the media outlet HobbyConsolas echoed the moment, highlighting the studio’s ongoing interest in reviving the cult slasher classic for a modern audience.
Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP is a remastered reimagining of the 2012 action-horror title Lollipop Chainsaw, which originally released for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. In the 2012 game, players take on the role of Juliet Starling, a high-energy cheerleader who wields a chainsaw to fend off undead threats during chaotic battles across a zombie-infested setting. Juliet became a recognizable figure in gaming culture, frequently appearing in lists and roundups that celebrate the sexiest or most iconic video game characters, as discussed by journalists and bloggers in ongoing coverage.
Yasuda posted six new screenshots, each showcasing fast-paced close-quarters combat and ranged action as Juliet confronts waves of zombies. One image captures the heroine posed with a chainsaw in hand, projecting confidence and a fearless attitude that fans remember from the original campaign.
The Dragami Games director noted that the timing of the screenshots was driven by frequent questions about which platforms would host Juliet and the RePOP remake. While the post provides visual confirmation of the project, it stopped short of listing the consoles, instead inviting followers to await an official platform‑specific announcement. This approach mirrors the cautious, information-scarce phases that often accompany revival projects, balancing hype with anticipation.
Since the initial public reveal in 2022, progress updates about Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP have been scarce, with limited activity on social channels and in media coverage. The quiet period has left fans curious about development milestones, potential gameplay changes, and whether new content or additional features will accompany the remaster. The absence of frequent updates has fostered a mix of patient expectation and speculative discussion within the community, as players weigh the nostalgic pull of a familiar classic against the practicalities of modern remastering workflows.
Meanwhile, broader industry chatter around the series continues to surface in various outlets, reflecting renewed interest in mid‑2010s titles and the enduring appeal of bold, character-driven action games. The Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP project sits within this larger trend, prompting discourse about how classic titles can be reintroduced with updated aesthetics, controls, and accessibility options while preserving the original’s distinctive voice and humor. Throughout this process, fans and observers alike are watching closely for official confirmations about platform availability, release windows, and any new playable features that may accompany the remake.
