‘Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP’ Is a “Remaster”, Based on Your Requests?

Remake or remaster? A lot of people get that terminology confused when it comes to developers revisiting games from years ago to bring them to modern audiences. It’s even more puzzling that Dragami Games president Yoshimi Yasuda took to X last night to state that their upcoming Lollipop Chainsaw revisit, titled Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, is now being pushed as a remaster instead of a remake.

Yasuda stated that based on “your” requests, Dragami Games has “changed the game design” of the 2012 Grasshopper Manufacture-developed game to be a remaster. What exactly this means is unclear, seeing as we have yet to see any screenshots or receive any further information about RePOP since it was announced last year.

This does fall in line with the initial confusion that happened back in July of last year with regards to what Yasuda had said about RePOP having “a more realistic look”. Dragami issued a statement soon after, clarifying that they were inferring that they would be taking advantage of modern game console hardware with the game.

Still, the fact that none of the main players involved with the original game – that being James Gunn, Suda51 and Tara Strong – are part of Dragami Games’ efforts is still a bit of a concern.

With Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP slated for a Summer 2024 release, here’s hoping that we see something to allay those concerns soon.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game will be released on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on June 4, which means we’re less than one month away from playing.

The developers over at Teravision Games and IllFonic are whetting our appetite even further with two sneak peek videos this week that preview two exciting aspects of the game.

For starters, Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game will feature FEMALE KLOWNS, just like the ’80s movie itself, which you can preview in the first video below.

Additionally, you’ll be able to “create your very own Klownsona” in the game, meaning you can adjust the way your Klown characters look. Get a taste of that system below.

And be sure to read our early preview of the game right here!

Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game can be pre-ordered right now from the STEAM Store, PlayStation Store & Xbox Marketplace. The game has full crossplay support.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game is a 3v7 asymmetrical multiplayer horror game based on the cult horror classic film. When murderous alien Klowns come to feed on the quiet town of Crescent Cove, the locals must work together to fight back and survive the invasion.

Players can team up as either Klowns or humans, choosing from a variety of character classes, to explore an expansive, ever-changing map with creepy surprises waiting around every corner.

  • Take on the role of the iconic Killer Klowns – cooperate in a team of three players, utilize unworldly abilities, hunt humans with zany weapons, and plan your alien invasion to harvest the population of Crescent Cove successfully.
  • Fight back as a team of seven brave citizens of Crescent Cove – explore the city for valuable loot and weapons, avoid getting captured by Klowns, and try to survive the alien invasion.

Developed by Teravision Games and Illfonic, this playfully panic-inducing action experience faithfully recreates the atmosphere of the iconic movie and aims to stir up the asymmetrical multiplayer horror genre in multiple ways. The game is being developed as a live-service title, with multiple content updates planned for post-launch.
