Chainsaw Lollipop RePOP перешагнул рубеж продаж

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Surpasses 200,000 Units Sold, Proving a Resurgence of Interest in the Classic Action Title

Released late last year, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP has exceeded expectations, recently surpassing 200,000 units sold. Despite initial technical hiccups and controversy surrounding censorship, the game's sales figures demonstrate significant player demand.

Developed by Dragami Games (the original was by Grasshopper Manufacture, known for No More Heroes), this action-packed hack-and-slash title features a cheerleader protagonist wielding a chainsaw against hordes of zombies. The remaster boasts enhanced visuals and quality-of-life improvements.

This sales milestone, announced via a Dragami Games tweet, encompasses sales across all current and last-gen consoles, plus PC. The achievement comes several months after its September 2024 launch.

Celebrating Success: Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP's Sales Triumph

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP casts players as Juliet Starling, a cheerleader who uncovers her zombie-hunting heritage when her school is invaded by the undead. Fast-paced, chainsaw-fueled combat, reminiscent of Bayonetta, is a core gameplay element.

While the RePOP version is celebrating a significant win, the original PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 release achieved even greater success, selling over one million copies upon its 2012 debut. This initial success is often attributed to the unique collaboration between Goichi Suda (game design) and James Gunn (story and writing).

The future of Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP remains uncertain. While there's no confirmation of DLC or a sequel, the game's sales performance 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, another Grasshopper Manufacture title brought to modern platforms.
