Hit Game 'Lollipop Chainsaw' Achieves Sales Success

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP's Resurgence: Over 200,000 Copies Sold!

Released late last year, the Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP remaster has reportedly surpassed 200,000 units sold, demonstrating strong player demand despite initial technical hiccups and controversy. This success story highlights a renewed interest in the classic action title.

Developed originally by Grasshopper Manufacture (known for No More Heroes), Lollipop Chainsaw features fast-paced, chainsaw-wielding zombie combat. While the original developers didn't helm the remaster, Dragami Games delivered a visually enhanced version with improved gameplay features.

This sales milestone, announced by Dragami Games on Twitter, covers all current and last-gen consoles, plus PC. The achievement comes several months after the September 2024 launch.

Celebrating Success: Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP's Sales Triumph

Players control Juliet Starling, a cheerleader turned zombie hunter, battling undead hordes with her trusty chainsaw. The gameplay blends hack-and-slash action reminiscent of Bayonetta.

The original 2012 release on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 achieved even greater success, selling over one million copies. This initial popularity likely stemmed from the unique collaboration between Goichi Suda and James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy).

While future DLC or a sequel remains unconfirmed, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP's sales are encouraging for remasters of less mainstream titles. This positive trend is echoed by the recent release of Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered, another Grasshopper Manufacture title updated for modern platforms.
