The original game was released in 2012 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, but no platforms for Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP have been announced yet. The original producer, Yoshimimi Yasuda, is working on the game. However, it's been confirmed that veterans Suda51 and James Gunn aren't involved with the remake.

Yasuda has also clarified that he wants RePOP to stay as close as possible to the original game. As a result, the story won't be changed. Additionally, the studio intends to leverage modern hardware and rendering technology for the game's graphics. However, Yasuda said that 16 songs from the original soundtrack can't be used for the remake due to licensing issues, and he hasn't been able to comment on the topic of censorship as he hadn't discussed it with the platform holders yet.

In GameSpot's Lollipop Chainsaw review, we said, "Lollipop Chainsaw is cheery and obscene, but it doesn't hit its marks consistently enough to be more than a passing amusement."
