Lollipop Chainsaw remaster will feature revamped combat

Earlier this month, Dragami Games revealed that the upcoming Lollipop Chainsaw game is no longer a remake, and instead will be a remaster closer to the original game. Now, the developer says that it’s looking to remove the “sluggish feel of chainsaw battles” by updating some of Juliet’s abilities.

In a post on X, Lollipop Chainsaw RePop game designer Yoshima Yasuda said, “RePOP’s battles will be improved to be more enjoyable for current action game users.” Some of Dragami Game’s focus points include “changes in speed to eliminate the sluggish feel of chainsaw battles and improvements to input reception timing for Cheer Attack and Chainsaw Attack combos.”

We’ve already seen the new Juliet Starling character model, and it looks like Dragami is committed to ensuring the remaster stays true to the original game — as a fan of the original Lollipop Chainsaw, I’m really excited to see RePop’s end result. When exactly we’ll see it is anyone’s guess, however, as Dragami delayed the game into 2024 and has only said that it’s expected to launch during the summer.

We’ll let you know when we have a date to look forward to, but for now, why not check out some of the best Xbox zombie games?
