Fans of 2012’s Lollipop Chainsaw who have been waiting for a follow-up might just have gotten their wish. Per Dragami Games CEO Yoshimi Yasuda’s Twitter, it would appear that the developer has plans for bringing the series back.
While specifics weren’t revealed, Yasuda’s post yesterday (accompanied by an image of game protagonist Juliet Starling) tells fans to “look forward” to the series’ return. If you’re wondering how Dragami Games got involved with this, Yasuda used to be CEO of Kadokawa Games, which published the original Lollipop Chainsaw in Japan. Yasuda is now CEO of Dragami Games, which has taken over part of Kadokawa Games’ assets and staff.
No word on if Lollipop Chainsaw‘s co-director Goichi “Suda51” or James Gunn (who referenced the game in last year’s The Suicide Squad) will be involved in the new project. There’s also the issue of Warner Bros. owning the rights to the game here in North America, but hopefully WB plays nice.
Originally released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Lollipop Chainsaw (which just celebrated its 10th anniversary earlier this week) centers on 18-year-old Juliet, whose town of San Romero has become overrun with a zombie outbreak.
Thanks to Twinfinite for the additional info.
