De current-gen release van Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, die al geruime tijd in ontwikkeling, is in Amerika en Europa op 12 september en op 26 september in Japan en Azië, zoals eerder bekendgemaakt.

De game komt echter ook naar last-gen systemen, de PS4 en Xbox One om precies te zijn, maar wanneer precies was nog niet bekend. Hoewel we geen releasedatum hebben gekregen, weten we nu wel dat de last-gen edities voor november gepland staan.

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP is een definitieve versie van de in 2012 gelanceerde gelijknamige game. De verhaallijn blijft hetzelfde, maar deze uitgave zal zich voornamelijk richten op quality of life en gameplay verbeteringen.

Quality of life

  • The resolution of the game has been increased to full HD, and load times have been greatly shortened.
  • The chainsaw action has been sped up with the introduction of the Chained Hits Hunting system, in which chaining multiple hits in succession increases the player’s attack speed.
  • The input timings for Combo Actions have been adjusted, to better fit players’ expectations.
  • Chainsaw Blaster action has been improved with the addition of auto-lock and auto-fire modes that can be toggled, and an increased maximum ammo count of 99.
  • The player can now immediately use Combo Actions at the start of the game.

Extra gameplay features</>

  • Separate from Original Mode, RePOP adds “RePOP Mode,” which uses a unique and colorful pop art-inspired art style for damage effects.
  • Unique new chainsaws with distinctly different features have been added.
  • There are 30 costumes, more than the original game’s costume count. Combined with the addition of 4 new hair colors and four new chainsaws, this adds up to 750 different possible combinations.
  • Juliet’s Room has been expanded with more features.
  • A “Time Attack Mode” with ranking feature has been added.
