Overview
- Publishers Dragami Games and Nada Holdings and developer JP Universe formally unveiled Lollipop Chainsaw 2 Back2Back, confirming a PlayStation 5 release window in 2027 and a playable build at Tokyo Game Show.
- The demo and an eight-minute gameplay clip shown at the show presented Juliet Starling fighting through a rebuilt San Romero, now called Jaredwood, with new moves such as roller skates and staged movie-set encounters.
- Official credits list Hajime Tabata, Masahiro Yuki, and artist NekoshowguN on the project while prominent original creators James Gunn and Goichi Suda are not listed as involved.
- Multiple hands-on reports described the TGS build as an early, rough state with camera problems, choppy animations, missing dialogue and occasional audio issues that suggest substantial polish is still needed.
- Only the PS5 release has been confirmed so far and coverage also reported a separately announced live-action prequel film, indicating Dragami’s plan to expand Lollipop Chainsaw beyond games.
