Summary
Lollipop Chainsaw: RePophas gone ahead and unveiled the contents of its Limited Run collector’s edition several months ahead of its September 25 release. Initially billed as a full remake, developer Dragami Games has recently reclassifiedLollipop Chainsaw: RePopas a remaster following feedback from fans.
Now over a decade old, the originalLollipop Chainsawwas released in 2012 and became one of the most beloved cult classics of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 era. The colorful character action game was praised for its incredibly unique premise that follows a high school cheerleader named Juliet Starling as she tears her way through hordes of the undead with her chainsaw. Unfortunately for Xbox 360 fans,Lollipop Chainsawhas since been delisted from the 360 digital marketplace and hasn’t been brought over to the Xbox One or Series X|S via backward compatibility. The only way for Xbox gamers to buy the original is to find a used physical copy, but thankfully, Dragami Games’imminentLollipop Chainsawremasterwill give interested gamers a new way to experience the classic action title.
As one of the PlayStation 3 andXbox 360’s most adored cult classics,Lollipop Chainsaw: RePopcertainly warrants a big collector’s edition offering. Named “Cheerleader Edition”,Lollipop Chainsaw’s Collector’s box is impressive, featuring a 10-inch statue of the game’s protagonist Juliet Starling as the big ticket item. The Cheerleader Edition is available for Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch users, and is up on Limited Run Games for $150.Lollipop Chainsawfans will have until August 25 to lock in their orders, as the game releases a month later.
