Dragami Games has officially announced a schedule change for the highly anticipated action title, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, on the Nintendo Switch 2.
Initially slated for a November 2025 release, the latest edition for Nintendo’s next-generation platform will now arrive in early 2026.

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, a remastered version of the cult-classic action-adventure game, was first revealed by Dragami Games with a focus on delivering enhanced visuals and updated gameplay for modern hardware.
The Switch 2 version was expected to capitalize on the robust features of Nintendo’s upcoming console and was eagerly anticipated within the gaming community.
The additional wait will ensure both digital and physical versions debut simultaneously across multiple regions. In a statement shared by Dragami Games, the company explained the reasoning behind the delay.
It said that following overwhelming fan requests, and with collaboration from several publishing partners, preparations are underway to facilitate physical releases in multiple regions.
The plan is to synchronize the launch timing for both the digital and physical editions worldwide, requiring an extension of the development timeline.
Dragami Games expressed gratitude for the patience and support of their audience and apologized for any inconvenience caused by the extended wait. Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP represents a significant project for Dragami Games as it seeks to reintroduce a beloved franchise on a new generation of Nintendo hardware.
