In 2012, Lollipop Chainsaw introduced players to Juliet Starling, a zombie-hunting cheerleader who used a chainsaw and other over-the-top weapons to destroy the so-called walking dead. Aside from the modern remaster, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, that was released in 2024, there hasn’t been much happening with the franchise. Now, Lollipop Chainsaw is poised for a comeback with “new projects” thanks to a deal between Dragami Games and Nada Holdings.
The two companies jointly announced that they plan to “jointly launch multiple new projects” based on Lollipop Chainsaw. Neither Dragami nor Nada offered any details about what those projects might entail, but a new game or a potential film adaptation could be among the options explored.
Dragami Games president and CEO Shohei Sato thanked Lollipop Chainsaw fans for their support and praised Nada for giving the company a chance to revisit the franchise.
“The team at Nada Holdings shares a deep affection and enthusiasm for the title, along with a proven track record in IP investment and development,” said Sato. “Through this partnership, we look forward to working together to create new projects that carry on the spirit and charm of the original while bringing fresh value to the franchise.”
James Gunn–the co-CEO of DC Studios and the director of the recently released Superman reboot–co-wrote the story for Lollipop Chainsaw, which was co-directed by Goichi Suda aka Suda51. However, neither Gunn nor Suda51 had any involvement with the 2024 remaster. If another game moves forward, it’s unclear if either Gunn or Suda51 will be willing or able to contribute to it.
