Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Reaches Impressive Sales Milestone

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

Released late last year, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP has reportedly exceeded 200,000 units sold, demonstrating significant market success. Despite initial technical hiccups and controversy surrounding censorship, the game's sales figures clearly indicate strong player demand.

Developed by Dragami Games (with Grasshopper Manufacture, the original developer of the cult classic, not involved in the remaster), Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP offers a revitalized experience for fans. The remaster boasts enhanced visuals and improved gameplay features. The game's success spans current and last-gen consoles, as well as PC platforms. This sales milestone was recently announced via a tweet from Dragami Games.

Celebrating Success: Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP's Sales Triumph

Lollipop Chainsaw casts players as Juliet Starling, a cheerleader battling a zombie apocalypse at her high school. Armed with a chainsaw, Juliet fights hordes of undead enemies and formidable bosses in stylish, hack-and-slash combat, reminiscent of titles like Bayonetta.

While the RePOP version celebrates its sales achievement, the original 2012 release on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 achieved even greater success, selling over one million copies. The original game's popularity likely benefited from the unique collaboration between Goichi Suda (a renowned game designer) and James Gunn (director of Guardians of the Galaxy), who contributed to the game's narrative.

The future of the Lollipop Chainsaw franchise remains uncertain. While there's currently no news regarding potential DLC or a sequel, the RePOP's sales success bodes well for remasters of other niche titles. This positive trend is further supported by the recent release of Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered, another successful remaster from Grasshopper Manufacture's catalog.
