Lollipop Chainsaw 2 Back2Back Announced for PS5 in 2027
Sega revealed Lollipop Chainsaw 2 Back2Back during a special stage event at Tokyo Game Show 2026. The new zombie action game is scheduled to launch for PlayStation 5 in 2027. It serves as the latest entry in the series, following the original 2012 release and its 2024 remaster, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP.
The project was initiated by NADA HOLDINGS founder Joe Teng, who approached Dragami Games with a sequel proposal in 2022. Development involves a collaboration between Dragami Games, NADA HOLDINGS, and JP UNIVERSE, led by Hajime Tabata. Masahiro Yuki and character designer NekoshowguN are also returning for the title.
Developers outlined three key aspects: making protagonist Juliet a "superstar," expanding the "cute and crazy" world, and delivering exhilarating action. While footage was shown running in Unreal Engine, the team clarified that they cannot yet discuss most of the game's content.
