In accordance with Yasuda “regardless that the unique workers are engaged on the [remaster], there can be components which can be totally different from the unique.”
Particulars of the upcoming remake from the unique announcement through producer Yoshimi Yasuda:
14 years have handed since I began the Lollipop Chainsaw mission.
Lollipop Chainsaw was born on account 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 mission on Lollipop Chainsaw, in Could 2009.
As Suda-san was very busy dealing with improvement on different tasks on the time, I served as director and producer, making a joint improvement staff consisting of workers from Grasshopper Manufacture and Kadokawa Video games, overseeing improvement instantly. Suda-san appeared over the sport design and supervised the mission as an govt producer.
In January 2010, assistance from a pal of mine working at Warner Bros. led to us efficiently greedy an opportunity with the Warner Bros. greenlight committee, and Warner Bros. thus turning into the writer for the sport in all areas exterior of Asia. Moreover, a Warner Bros. senior supervisor steered that we’ve got the sport’s script rewritten, and that we go away 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 1,000,000 models worldwide.
Sadly, varied elements resulted in issues making it in order that followers can now 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 improvement workers on Lollipop Chainsaw, consider the sport as very valuable to us, and didn’t wish to go away it in limbo, the place gamers who wish 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 have now already contacted Warner Bros. about improvement, and are being supported by them on this endeavor.
One factor that we’ve got to inform followers of the unique recreation is that regardless that the unique workers are engaged on the remake, there can be components which can be totally different from the unique. As an illustration, 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. Because of this, except for a number of licensed tracks, the soundtrack will consist of recent music. Moreover, since we’ve got entry to consoles with larger specs, we can be taking a extra sensible strategy to the graphics this time.
In any case, our objective is to make it simpler for avid gamers who wish to play Lollipop Chainsaw to take action. Please look ahead to the sport’s 2023 launch.
Sincerely,
Lollipop Chainsaw Producer
Yoshimi Yasuda
