New Lollipop Chainsaw Title Won’t Have Censorship, Will Stay True To The Original

Expert Verified By

The New Game Wont Make Creative Decisions Based On DEI.

Story Highlight
  • New Lollipop Chainsaw devs say the game won’t have any censorship.
  • The title will stay true to the distinctive tone of the original, incorporating dark humor.
  • Furthermore, the developer also emphasized DEI standards won’t influence creative decisions.

Lollipop Chainsaw has garnered a substantial cult following since its release in 2012. To such an extent that Dragami Games even released a remastered version last year, which proved to be a significant commercial success for the company.

Recently, the developer surprised fans by announcing that new projects based on the IP were in development and would remain faithful to the source material. Now, new info unveiled by Dragami hints at how far this new Lollipop Chainsaw title will be willing to go.

Why it matters: The lack of censorship, especially for a raunchy action title, is an exciting prospect and something very important.

Lollipop Chainsaw
Lollipop Chainsaw RePop reinvigorated interest in the action title last year.

In a new blog post, collaborators Nada Holdings and Dragami announced that a new game in the franchise is in development, recreating the distinctive tone of the original without any censorship. In other words, no creative restrictions will be imposed on the new Lollipop Chainsaw title in the name of DEI, allowing for complete freedom to implement dark humor.

Furthermore, the press release also announced that an anime based on the IP was in development, alongside a new game. From the looks of the DEI comment, these new Lollipop Chainsaw projects are looking to closely follow the atmosphere of the original, and developer Dragami Games is not making decisions based on new DEI standards.

The 2012 title, a collaboration between Suda 51 and James Gunn, was a rather raunchy action game with edgy humor and a cheerleader tasked with killing zombies. Yoshimi Yasuda, another developer on the original Lollipop Chainsaw, has also previously spoken out against censorship in gaming, saying it ruins core aspects.

Lollipop Chainsaw Repop has sold over a million copies since launch.

If the new Lollipop Chainsaw game does stick to its roots with minimal censorship to lighten its tone, there is every chance it will top the 1.5 million copies sold by the 2012 game, especially with a new anime to back it up.
