In accordance with Yasuda “though the unique employees are engaged on the [remaster], there might be parts which might be completely different from the unique.”
Particulars of the upcoming remake from the unique announcement by way of producer Yoshimi Yasuda:
14 years have handed since I began the Lollipop Chainsaw challenge.
Lollipop Chainsaw was born because of Suda 51 discussing creating a brand new recreation with me. I noticed nice potential in Grasshopper Manufacture‘s proposal, and only one month after Kadokawa Video games was based April 2009, we began the event challenge on Lollipop Chainsaw, in Could 2009.
As Suda-san was very busy dealing with growth on different initiatives on the time, I served as director and producer, making a joint growth workforce consisting of employees from Grasshopper Manufacture and Kadokawa Video games, overseeing growth instantly. Suda-san appeared over the sport design and supervised the challenge as an government producer.
In January 2010, the help of a buddy of mine working at Warner Bros. led to us efficiently greedy an opportunity with the Warner Bros. greenlight committee, and Warner Bros. thus changing into the writer for the sport in all areas outdoors of Asia. Moreover, a Warner Bros. senior supervisor steered that we now have the sport’s script rewritten, and that we depart it to movie director James Gunn, which we gladly agreed to.
All of this success resulted in Lollipop Chainsaw, which launched in June 2012, being cherished by many gamers all around the world, promoting over one million models worldwide.
Sadly, numerous components resulted in issues making it in order that followers can not simply play Lollipop Chainsaw, and it has been a while since gamers haven’t been in a position to entry the sport on present consoles.
We, the unique growth employees on Lollipop Chainsaw, consider the sport as very treasured to us, and didn’t need to depart it in limbo, the place gamers who need to play it can not. As such, we bought the Lollipop Chainsaw mental property from Kadokawa Video games, and determined to develop a remake. We’ve already contacted Warner Bros. about growth, and are being supported by them on this endeavor.
One factor that we now have to inform followers of the unique recreation is that though the unique employees are engaged on the remake, there might be parts which might be completely different from the unique. For example, the unique recreation had 15 licensed songs used within the soundtrack, however it’s sadly troublesome for us to implement all of them this time. In consequence, other than just a few licensed tracks, the soundtrack will consist of recent music. Moreover, since we now have entry to consoles with larger specs, we might be taking a extra practical method to the graphics this time.
In any case, our aim is to make it simpler for avid gamers who need to play Lollipop Chainsaw to take action. Please sit up for the sport’s 2023 launch.
Sincerely,
Lollipop Chainsaw Producer
Yoshimi Yasuda
