Lollipop Chainsaw Repop Switch 2 Edition Announced by Dragami Games for November Release

Lollipop Chainsaw Repop, the reimagined zombie action classic, is officially set to receive a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, as announced by Dragami Games.

The enhanced version is scheduled for release in November and will deliver upgraded visuals and performance tailored for Nintendo’s anticipated new hardware.

This news arrives as Dragami Games aims to provide fans with a vastly improved experience, capitalizing on the momentum gained from its successful run on the Nintendo Switch and other platforms.

Originally debuting in 2012 and later remastered as Lollipop Chainsaw Repop, the game sees fan-favorite Juliet Starling return as the chainsaw-wielding cheerleader in a fast-paced battle against hordes of zombies.

Boasting global sales of 1.24 million copies, Lollipop Chainsaw has become a cult hit thanks to its over-the-top action, tongue-in-cheek humor, and distinct graphic style.

With the upcoming Switch 2 Edition, Dragami Games promises a new benchmark for the franchise on Nintendo hardware.

According to Dragami Games, the Switch 2 Edition will feature major advancements over the existing Nintendo Switch release.

"Players can look forward to significant improvements in resolution, frame rate, and overall graphical quality," a company spokesperson said in a recent statement.

These enhancements are designed to fully leverage the capabilities of the new Nintendo Switch 2, delivering a smoother and more visually impressive zombie-slaying adventure. Attendees at the 2024 Tokyo Game Show will have a first opportunity to experience Lollipop Chainsaw Repop Switch 2 Edition hands-on.

The game’s presence at this major industry event underscores Dragami Games’ commitment to engaging with the player community and gathering direct feedback ahead of launch. For those unfamiliar with the series, Lollipop Chainsaw Repop follows the story of Juliet Starling, a high school cheerleader from San Romero with a secret family legacy as zombie hunters.

When the undead overrun her school on her birthday, Juliet must slash her way through the chaos with her trusty chainsaw and unique style.

The Repop edition brings speedier chainsaw mechanics, an auto-fire feature for ranged attacks, and upgraded audio for a more immersive experience, all further polished for the Switch 2 platform. Lollipop Chainsaw Repop is currently available on Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo eShop, with the Switch 2 Edition launching later this year.

The continued support and enhancements for the franchise reaffirm Dragami Games’ dedication to quality and innovation in the action genre.
