Lollipop Chainsaw: will the remake be censored? The developer's response

While the announcement of a remake of Lollipop Chainsaw has been warmly welcomed by Juliet Starling fans, many of them are still wondering about the leeway that the developers of Dragami will have. Games. This is the reason why Yoshimi Yasuda, both founder of the studio and producer of the game, split a tweet to clarify certain gray areas. "The main objective of the project is to make it so that those who wish to play Lollipop Chainsaw can do so easily, and not to create a new game, he assures. Obviously, the easiest way would be to make a version remastered version of the original game and not change anything. The problem is that we weren't able to include the 16 licensed tracks that were an integral part of the original experience, which is why we opted for a remake that's as close to a remaster as possible."

Yasuda-san also responds to rumors about possible script changes. "We believe that the story of Lollipop Chainsaw is one of the things people appreciate the most in the original version; it is our case. As a result, it will remain unchanged in the remake." Then comes the subject of graphics. "We have no intention of changing anything from an aesthetic point of view, warns Yoshimi Yasuda. In fact, when we said that the game would have a more realistic visual rendering, it was in reference to technologies available on current consoles. The goal is absolutely not to change the design of Juliet. Precisely, we are the ones who created her model after many trials and errors ten years ago now, and we are attached to her more than anyone."

Finally, concerning censorship - for the record, the Japanese were treated to a watered down Lollipop Chainsaw in 2012 - Yasuda-san confides that no discussions have yet been started with the manufacturers, and that he cannot therefore promise anything for the moment. "On the other hand, what I can guarantee you is that we will negotiate with them so that the game is as close as possible to the original version," he says. This clarification made, let's not forget to remember that the remake of Lollipop Chainsaw is expected for 2023.
