Dragami Games has teased the existence of a PS4 version of its upcoming action adventure hack-and-slash game, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP.
Yoshimi Yasuda, game designer at Dragami Games, took to Twitter/X to share that the studio has received requests from many fans regarding a PS4 version of Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP ever since the game’s official announcement. He further stated that the development team intends to meet the requests of its fan base. As such, he asked fans to look forward to an announcement in this regard as soon as its schedule is finalized.
Yasuda’s statement has pretty much confirmed that a PS4 version of Lollipop Chainsaw is on the way. The PS4 version will undoubtedly come with certain graphical or performance-related compromises. That said, it’s great to know that more people will be able to enjoy the upcoming title.
Given how Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP is more of a remaster rather than a full blown remake, it’s likely that the PS4 will retain most of the bell and whistles found in the PS5 version. For those wondering what kind of improvements can be expected in Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP over the original, the game features improved texture work, improved shadows, more detailed character models and environments, depth of field and other post-process effects. Fans of the original can, therefore, expect much of the original experience to be preserved, though with some worthwhile audiovisual enhancements and gameplay refinements.
Previously, Yoshimi Yasuda, Game Designer at Dragami Games, took to Twitter/X to reveal that Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP will retain the English voice cast from the original game. The main character was originally voiced by Tara Strong in English and by both Eri Kitamura in the PlayStation 3 version and Yoko Hikasa in the Xbox version in Japanese. Yasuda’s announcement implies that Strong will reprise her role in the remake as the protagonist, Juliet Starling.
