Lollipop Sales Spike: Chainsaw RePOP Hits Major Milestone

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

Released late last year, the Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP remaster has reportedly exceeded 200,000 units sold, defying initial technical hurdles and censorship controversies. This sales milestone demonstrates significant player demand for the game.

Developed originally by Grasshopper Manufacture (known for No More Heroes), Lollipop Chainsaw is a vibrant action-hack-and-slash game where players wield a chainsaw as a cheerleader battling zombies. While the original developers didn't helm the remaster, Dragami Games delivered a visually enhanced experience with added quality-of-life improvements.

Months after its September 2024 launch, Dragami Games announced the impressive sales figure, encompassing current and last-gen consoles, as well as PC.

Celebrating Success: Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP's Sales Triumph

The game follows Juliet Starling, a San Romero High cheerleader who uncovers her zombie-hunting heritage amidst a school-wide undead invasion. Players engage in thrilling chainsaw combat against hordes of zombies and unique bosses, reminiscent of titles like Bayonetta.

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 Goichi Suda and James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy), who contributed to the game's compelling narrative.

While future DLC or a sequel remains unconfirmed, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP's success bodes well for remasters of other cult classic games. 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.
