Lollipop Chainsaw is an all-new third person action game being developed by Grasshopper Manufacture led by celebrated game maker Goichi Suda (Suda51) and featuring the musical compositions of the renowned Akira Yamoaka.
In addition to these two talented individuals, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has tapped Hollywood director/writer, James Gunn (Super, Slither, Dawn of the Dead, Romeo and Juliet) to bring his cult humor and edgy storytelling to Lollipop Chainsaw.
“Our exciting partnership with Kadokawa games allows us to try something new by bringing a very unique game like Lollipop Chainsaw to Western markets,†said Martin Tremblay, President of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “Grasshopper Manufacture’ s games have shown tremendous success with gamers around the globe and we are delighted to expand our portfolio of Japanese-developed games.â€
“We are looking forward to partnering with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment on our first entry into the HD console market,” said Yoshimi Yasuda, President of Kadokawa games. “We are also thrilled to have a team like grasshopper and talent like Suda51 creating such an interesting and distinct game for us to work with and bring to the fans.”
Every school has its outcasts and Lollipop Chainsaw’s San Romero High is no exception. Swan is the resident Goth Geek Bastard who loathes people and society. Seeking revenge on the people who rejected and ridiculed him, Swan is on a mission to take over the world. But there was one thing he did not count on – Juliet, San Romero’s resident cheerleader and zombie-slayer, kicking his ass.
So relax, suck back on a strawberry lollipop and enjoy the new vignette! Lollipop Chainsaw is the ‘un-deadly’ story of sweet and killer zombie hunter Juliet Starling and her quest to uncover the root of a colossal zombie outbreak.
With her wickedly awesome chainsaw in hand, Juliet slices, dices and splits her way through hordes of the undead, but soon realizes the horde is only the opening act to a festival of zombie rock lords determined to kill the chainsaw wielding cheerleader.
