Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Reaches Impressive Sales Milestone

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

Released late last year, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP has reportedly exceeded 200,000 units sold, demonstrating strong player interest in this remastered action game. Despite initial technical hiccups and some controversy, the game's sales figures highlight significant demand.

Developed originally by Grasshopper Manufacture (known for titles like No More Heroes), Lollipop Chainsaw is a vibrant hack-and-slash experience. Players take on the role of Juliet Starling, a chainsaw-wielding cheerleader battling zombies. While the original developers didn't helm the remaster, Dragami Games delivered a visually enhanced version with improved gameplay features.

Months after its September 2024 launch across current and last-gen consoles, and PC, Dragami Games announced the impressive sales milestone via a tweet.

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP's Triumphant Sales Figures

The game casts players as Juliet, a San Romero High cheerleader who uncovers her zombie-hunting heritage when her school is overrun. Fast-paced, chainsaw-fueled combat against hordes of zombies and unique bosses is reminiscent of titles like Bayonetta.

The original 2012 release on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 achieved even greater success, reportedly selling over one million copies. Its popularity likely stemmed from the unique collaboration between Goichi Suda and James Gunn, whose contributions shaped the game's narrative.

While there's currently no news regarding potential DLC or a sequel for Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, its sales success bodes well for remasters of other cult classic games. This positive trend is further supported by the recent release of Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered, bringing another Grasshopper Manufacture title to modern platforms.
