Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP for Nintendo Switch 2 has hit another development obstacle, as Dragami Games officially announced an indefinite delay for the anticipated action title.
The setback affects not only the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Edition but also the current Nintendo Switch version, marking another chapter in the challenging release history of this cult-classic remake. Originally scheduled to launch on March 26, 2026, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP’s Switch 2 Edition was set to bring the over-the-top hack-and-slash action to Nintendo’s next-generation platform.
Developed by Dragami Games, the studio committed to revitalizing the fan-favorite 2012 title for new and existing fans, leveraging the Nintendo Switch family’s popularity and expansive user base.
However, ongoing development hurdles have forced the team to reconsider their timeline. In a recent statement posted to their official X (formerly Twitter) account, Dragami Games addressed the delay in clear terms.
The team emphasized that "substantial updates" are necessary for both the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition as well as the existing Nintendo Switch version.
This need for broad improvements prompted the decision to postpone the launch, demonstrating Dragami Games’ commitment to ensuring quality for players across both platforms. The message from Dragami Games included an apology to fans eagerly awaiting the dual-platform release.
“We regret to inform our community that, due to the need for significant updates not only to the Nintendo Switch 2 version but also to the Nintendo Switch version currently available, we have decided to delay the release.
We sincerely apologize to all fans looking forward to the launch," the developer stated.
While the specific nature of the required updates has not been detailed, the decision highlights the importance Dragami Games places on delivering a polished product.
The company assured its audience that a new release date will be communicated "as soon as preparations are complete." Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP has generated considerable buzz since its announcement, with fans nostalgic for the original title excited for its modern update.
The game’s journey has seen several milestones, from its reveal during a Nintendo Direct showcase to its listing on the Nintendo eShop, reflecting the continued relevance of classic remakes in today's market. The delay underscores the complexities inherent in bringing beloved titles to new platforms such as the Nintendo Switch 2.
Despite the latest setback, Dragami Games’ transparent communication and dedication to quality suggest that Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP will ultimately deliver the definitive experience fans are hoping for when it finally arrives on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
