Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Surpasses 200,000 Sales, Proving a Resurgence for the Classic Action Title
Released late last year, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP has exceeded expectations, recently surpassing 200,000 units sold. Despite initial technical hiccups and controversy surrounding censorship, the game's sales figures demonstrate strong player demand.
Developed originally by Grasshopper Manufacture (known for the No More Heroes series), Lollipop Chainsaw's remaster was handled by Dragami Games. This new version features enhanced visuals and improved gameplay mechanics. The remaster launched on current and last-gen consoles, as well as PC, in September 2024. Dragami Games recently announced the impressive sales milestone via a tweet.
Celebrating Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP's Sales Success
Players take on the role of Juliet Starling, a cheerleader battling a zombie apocalypse at her high school. Using her trusty chainsaw, Juliet engages in exhilarating hack-and-slash 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 unique appeal stems partly from the collaboration between Goichi Suda and James Gunn, who contributed to the game's narrative.
While future DLC or a sequel remains unannounced, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP's sales success bodes well for remasters of other cult classic games. This positive reception follows the recent release of another Grasshopper Manufacture title, Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered, which brought the action-horror game to modern platforms.
