Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Reaches Impressive Sales Milestone

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, released late last year, is celebrating a significant sales milestone, surpassing 200,000 copies sold. This success arrives despite initial launch challenges including technical issues and censorship controversies, demonstrating strong player demand for the game.

Developed originally by Grasshopper Manufacture (known for titles like No More Heroes), Lollipop Chainsaw is a vibrant action hack-and-slash game. Players take on the role of Juliet Starling, a chainsaw-wielding cheerleader battling hordes of zombies. While Grasshopper Manufacture didn't handle the remaster, Dragami Games delivered a visually enhanced experience with added quality-of-life improvements.

Several months after its September 2024 launch across current and last-gen consoles, and PC, Dragami Games announced the game's impressive sales figures. This achievement follows a tweet celebrating the 200,000 sales mark.

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Developers Celebrate The Game's Sales Success

The game casts players as Juliet Starling, a San Romero High cheerleader who discovers her zombie-hunting lineage when her school is overrun. Fast-paced, hack-and-slash combat using Juliet's chainsaw is central to the gameplay, reminiscent of titles like Bayonetta.

The original Lollipop Chainsaw (PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360) achieved even greater success, selling over a million units upon its 2012 release. This initial success was likely boosted by the unique collaboration between Goichi Suda and James Gunn (director of Guardians of the Galaxy), who contributed to the game's narrative.

While future plans for Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, such as additional content or a sequel, remain unannounced, the game's sales performance is encouraging for remasters of more niche titles. This positive trend is further exemplified by the recent release of Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered across current platforms, bringing another Grasshopper Manufacture title to modern audiences.
