Lollipop Chainsaw[a] is a 2012 action-adventure hack-and-slash video game developed by Grasshopper Manufacture for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. A collaboration between game designer Goichi Suda (also known by his nickname Suda51) and filmmaker James Gunn, the game was published in Japan by Kadokawa Games and internationally by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment in June 2012.
Lollipop Chainsaw features Juliet Starling (voiced by Tara Strong in English and by both Eri Kitamura in the Xbox 360 version and Yoko Hikasa in the PlayStation 3 version in Japanese—with limited uncensored versions allowing the player to change between the two voices after completing the game once), a cheerleader zombie hunter fighting zombies in a fictional California high school.[4] It received mixed reviews from critics and sold over 1.24 million units by June 2024.
In July 2022, Kadokawa Games successor Dragami Games announced a remaster titled Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, which is scheduled to release for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on September 25, 2024.
