Overview
- The sequel was officially announced and demoed at Tokyo Game Show on Sept. 17, 2026, with publishers Dragami Games and Nada Holdings and developer JP Universe saying the game is due on PlayStation 5 in 2027.
- The published synopsis says Juliet returns to a rebuilt San Romero now called Jaredwood and is trapped in a director’s twisted zombie movie where she must stop a new Corrupted Realm threat.
- The announcement credits Hajime Tabata, Masahiro Yuki and NekoshowguN on the project, while original developer Grasshopper Manufacture and high-profile original contributors such as James Gunn and Suda51 are not listed as returning.
- Roughly eight minutes of gameplay and public demos showed new moves like roller skates and chainsaw-propulsion but also exposed problems in the early build, including choppy animations, awkward camera behavior and a lack of voiceover.
- To mark the reveal, publishers put the 2024 remaster Lollipop Chainsaw: RePOP on sale, and the industry reaction suggests fans should watch for announcements on a firm 2027 date, other platform ports, and whether the new team will polish the rough early build.
