Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Reaches Impressive Sales Milestone

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

Released late last year, the Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP remaster has reportedly exceeded 200,000 units sold, defying initial technical hiccups and censorship controversies. This demonstrates significant player demand for the classic action title.

Developed originally by Grasshopper Manufacture (known for the No More Heroes series), Lollipop Chainsaw is a signature hack-and-slash game starring a chainsaw-wielding cheerleader battling zombies. While the original developers didn't helm the remaster, Dragami Games delivered a visually enhanced version with improved quality-of-life features.

Months after its September 2024 launch, Dragami Games announced the impressive sales milestone across all current and last-gen consoles, plus PC.

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP's Triumphant Sales Figures

The game casts players as Juliet Starling, a San Romero High cheerleader who discovers her zombie-hunting heritage when her school is overrun. Juliet's chainsaw combat is reminiscent of Bayonetta and other celebrated third-person action games.

The original 2012 release on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 achieved even greater success, selling over a million copies. This initial popularity likely stemmed from the unique collaboration between renowned game designer Goichi Suda and James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy), who contributed to the game's narrative.

While future DLC or sequels remain unannounced, the RePOP's success bodes well for remasters of other cult classics. This positive trend is further exemplified by the recent release of Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered, bringing another Grasshopper Manufacture title to modern platforms.
