Earlier today, it was announced that Lollipop Chainsaw is getting a remake from Dragami Games that will release in 2023. The game will feature new graphics and replace the licensed music from the original game, which is likely why the game is largely unavailable today. With that said, Lollipop Chainsaw co-director Suda51 and co-writer James Gunn are not involved with the game’s production. Gunn took to Twitter to state that he had only heard of the project a couple of weeks ago from Suda and no one had even approached them about the remake. Gunn went on to state that he doesn’t endorse or condemn the project, simply because he doesn’t know anything about it.
While Gunn is a busy man and is knee-deep in post-production on Guardians of the Galaxy 3, it does seem strange to not consult Suda51 who co-directed the original game. As of right now, no concrete release date or platforms have been announced, but it’s expected to release on current-gen consoles. Whether or not the developers will consult with the two creators in the coming months remains to be seen.
