Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Kills It with Epic Sales Numbers

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

Released late last year, the Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP remaster has exceeded expectations, surpassing 200,000 units sold across all platforms. This achievement is particularly noteworthy given initial launch challenges, including technical glitches and some reported censorship. The strong sales figures demonstrate significant player demand for this action-packed title.

Developed by Dragami Games (the original was by Grasshopper Manufacture, known for No More Heroes), the RePOP version features enhanced visuals and improved gameplay. The game retains its core hack-and-slash combat, placing players in the role of chainsaw-wielding cheerleader Juliet Starling as she battles hordes of zombies.

This sales milestone, announced by Dragami Games via Twitter, comes months after the September 2024 release. The game's availability across current and last-gen consoles, plus PC, likely contributed to its success.

Celebrating Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP's Sales Triumph

Lollipop Chainsaw follows Juliet Starling, a high school cheerleader who uncovers her zombie-hunting heritage when her school is invaded by the undead. Players utilize Juliet's chainsaw in stylish, over-the-top combat reminiscent of Bayonetta and other third-person action classics.

While the RePOP remaster has achieved impressive sales, the original 2012 release on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 sold over a million copies. The original game’s success was partly attributed to the unique collaboration between Goichi Suda (game design) and James Gunn (story and writing).

Future prospects for Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP remain uncertain. While there's no confirmation of DLC or a sequel, the game's performance bodes well for remasters of other cult classic games. This positive trend is further supported by the recent release of Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered, another Grasshopper Manufacture title brought to modern platforms.
