Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Slays Sales Threshold

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP: A Remaster's Resurgence

Released late last year, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP has exceeded 200,000 units sold, demonstrating strong player interest in this action-packed classic. Despite initial technical hurdles and controversy surrounding content changes, the game's sales figures clearly indicate significant demand.

Developed initially by Grasshopper Manufacture (known for the No More Heroes series), Lollipop Chainsaw is a hack-and-slash title featuring a chainsaw-wielding cheerleader battling zombies. While the original developer didn't handle the remaster, Dragami Games delivered a visually enhanced version with improved gameplay features.

Months after its September 2024 launch, Dragami Games announced the impressive sales milestone of over 200,000 copies across all platforms (current and last-gen consoles, plus PC).

Celebrating Success: Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP's Sales Triumph

Players control Juliet Starling, a San Romero High cheerleader who discovers her zombie-hunting heritage when her school is invaded by the undead. Juliet uses her chainsaw in intense, stylish combat, reminiscent of titles like Bayonetta.

The original 2012 release on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 achieved even greater success, selling over one million copies. The game's popularity likely stemmed from the unique collaboration between Goichi Suda and James Gunn, whose contributions shaped the narrative.

While future DLC or sequels remain unannounced, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP's sales success bodes well for remasters of other cult classics. This positive trend is further exemplified by the recent release of Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered, bringing another Grasshopper Manufacture title to modern platforms.
