Bubblegum zombie bludgeon-‘em-up Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP will make its grand return on PS5 from 25th September as part of Dragami Games’ anticipated remake. The release will only be available digitally to begin with, but those holding out for a physical edition will be able to nab one in October, with more information scheduled to follow in due course.
“RePOP is a definitive version of the game which leaves the story unchanged, with the focus on quality-of-life improvements and additional gameplay content,” the press release reveals. “Watch Juliet, a descendant of zombie hunters, as she fights alongside her boyfriend and family to stop a zombie apocalypse starting in her high school.”
Improvements include enhanced visuals and loading times, as well as improved gameplay. Some of the mechanics that have been optimised include the timing of combos and the overall pace of attacks. The release will also add 30 costumes, a time attack mode, and RePOP visual filter, which “uses a unique and colourful pop art-inspired art style for damage effects”.
