Dragami Games has announced that it’s developing a remake of cult-classic Lollipop Chainsaw, with many of the original developers returning. The game’s original producer Yoshimi Yasuda will return, alongside “a combination of development staff from the original version, including Yasuda as producer, and new development staff from Dragami Games,” (via IGN).Due out in 2023, no platforms have been announced for the game as of yet. According to IGN, this version of the game will recreate the original with “a more realistic approach to graphics,” and new music, as the licenses for some of the 16 tracks in the 2012 game are no longer in effect.Despite being called a remake on multiple occasions, it’s currently unclear exactly what form this version of Lollipop Chainsaw will take, and if it will release as more of a remaster with improved visuals and minor changes to the overall experience.
