Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Unleashes Major Sales Success

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Surpasses 200,000 Units Sold, Proving a Resurgence for the Action Title

Following its release late last year, the Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP remaster has reportedly achieved significant sales success, exceeding 200,000 units sold. This accomplishment demonstrates strong player demand, despite initial launch challenges including technical issues and some controversy surrounding content changes.

Developed by Dragami Games (the original was by Grasshopper Manufacture, known for No More Heroes), this action-packed hack-and-slash title places players in the role of Juliet Starling, a chainsaw-wielding cheerleader battling a zombie horde. Dragami Games' remaster introduced quality-of-life improvements and a visual overhaul.

1Several months after its September 2024 release across current and last-gen consoles and PC, Dragami Games announced the impressive sales milestone via a tweet. This success follows the original game's impressive sales figures of over a million units on PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2012. The original's popularity is often attributed to the unique collaboration between Goichi Suda and James Gunn.

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP's Success Celebrated by Developers

The game's narrative follows Juliet as she uncovers her zombie-hunting heritage amidst a school overrun by the undead. Players engage in exhilarating hack-and-slash combat, reminiscent of titles like Bayonetta, using Juliet's trusty chainsaw.

While there's currently no confirmation of future DLC or a sequel, the strong sales of Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP offer positive prospects for remasters of other cult-classic games. This success comes on the heels of another Grasshopper Manufacture title update – Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered – also released across current platforms. This trend suggests a growing market for bringing beloved, niche titles to modern audiences and hardware.
