Lollipop Chainsaw, the iconic action game originally released on the PlayStation 3, is making a grand re-entry into the gaming world with its remastered RePOP edition for the PlayStation 5. For fans of the game and newcomers alike, this is a golden opportunity to secure a physical copy of a game that has captivated many with its unique blend of humor and horror set within the hallowed halls of San Romero High School.
This new edition comes with a fresh coat of paint and a host of improvements to make the experience even more enjoyable on modern consoles. To ensure that all interested gamers get their hands on this limited release, the remastered version is available for pre-order from July 26 through August 25 exclusively at Limited Run Games. Each copy is made to order, emphasizing the exclusivity and collectible nature of this release.
Gamers have two purchase options for this title. The Standard Edition is priced at $44.99 and includes just the game in its Blu-ray glory. For collectors and die-hard fans, the Cheerleader Edition, priced at $149.99, offers a more robust package. This premium option includes not only the game but also several collector’s items: a 10-inch statue of the game's charismatic heroine, Juliet Starling, a comprehensive soundtrack, an art book that dives deep into the game’s quirky visuals, a keychain featuring Nick Carlisle's head, a high school medal from San Romeo Knights, and a Chop 2 Shop sticker. This selection of memorabilia encapsulates the game's spirit and would be a standout addition to any collection.
Lollipop Chainsaw tells the story of Juliet Starling, a cheerleader who finds herself in a zombie apocalypse on her 18th birthday. Armed with a chainsaw and incredible cheerleading skills, Juliet slices through hordes of the undead in her quest to save San Romero. The game uniquely juxtaposes dark, gory combat with cheerleading brightness and high school drama, creating an unforgettable gameplay experience.
In related updates from the developers at Dragami Games, there's potential good news on the horizon for gamers who haven’t upgraded to the PlayStation 5. The CEO, Yoshimi Yasuda, hinted at the possibility of Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP making its way to the PlayStation 4. While nothing is confirmed, the engagement and interest from fans have pushed the development team to consider a broader release. Fans are encouraged to stay tuned for any announcements regarding this.
The reintroduction of Lollipop Chainsaw to the market aligns with a growing trend of remastering classic games to meet the graphical and performance standards expected by today’s gaming community. It ensures that new players can experience these gems in the best possible light while offering veterans a nostalgic trip with added flair.
Those interested in owning a piece of this revived classic should act quickly. With the pre-order window closing on August 25 and the exclusivity of the made-to-order production, missing out on this pre-order could mean missing out altogether, unless willing to import from Asia at a likely higher cost.
This release not only celebrates a cult classic but also enhances it, giving both old fans and newcomers the chance to experience Lollipop Chainsaw's uniquely anarchic charm with modernized visuals and gameplay. Whether for the gameplay or the collectibles, securing a copy of Lollipop Chainsaw’s remastered edition could be a highlight for any gamer’s collection this year.
