The announcement has caught many by surprise, but it’s now official: Lollipop Chainsaw is getting a new game and an anime adaptation. After years of silence, this eccentric franchise created by Suda51 and Grasshopper Manufacture is back with new plans in the works.

The news has been confirmed through the franchise’s official Twitter account, which has just been activated to share future updates. From now on, it will be responsible for sharing updates on both the new game in development and the accompanying anime. There’s no trailer or release window yet, but one thing is clear: Lollipop Chainsaw is back.

New Lollipop Chainsaw Game and Anime in Development: What We Know So Far

For now, details are scarce, but enough to generate excitement. The new game won’t be a simple remaster, like the one that was in development a few years ago, but a completely new project within the Lollipop Chainsaw universe. It’s also unclear if it will be directly linked to Juliet Starling, the original protagonist, or if we’ll see a different story within the same world.

What we do know is that the announcement comes with an anime project, an adaptation that seems to be aiming for a classic Japanese style: over-the-top action, hyper-stylized aesthetics, and absurd humor that already defined the original Xbox 360 and PS3 title.

The franchise’s official account invites fans to stay tuned, promising that more details will be revealed in the coming months. For now, it’s unknown if the new game will come to Xbox, but considering the original title was also released on Microsoft’s console, it’s likely.
