Lollipop Chainsaw 2 Back2Back is officially coming to PlayStation 5 in 2027, marking the return of zombie-slaying protagonist Juliet Starling. Siliconera reports that Dragami Games, Nada Holdings, and JP Universe are developing the new entry, which will take players to a rebuilt San Romero transformed into Jaredwood, a glitzy film-industry metropolis.
The game's development team includes Final Fantasy XV director Hajime Tabata, original Lollipop Chainsaw scenario writer Masahiro Yuki, and character concept artist NekoshowguN. Ixbt.games confirms that Juliet returns in a brand-new outfit with "even more power" as she battles Corrupted Realm zombies trapped inside a twisted zombie movie.
Tokyo Game Show 2026 Gets Hands-On Demo
The first playable demo arrives at Tokyo Game Show 2026. Enduins.com reports that attendees can try Lollipop Chainsaw 2 Back2Back at the SEGA/ATLUS booth and receive an original keychain while supplies last. A stage presentation is scheduled for September 19 from 9:40 to 10:30 a.m. Japan Standard Time.
Official game ambassador PeachMilky will appear at the booth dressed as Juliet Starling. All booth visitors receive a logo sticker as a souvenir from the experience.
Juliet Returns in an All-New Story
The sequel is a completely new entry—not a simple continuation of the remaster. Ixbt.games emphasizes that Juliet arrives in a fresh outfit with enhanced abilities. She must escape from a mysterious director who has trapped her inside a horror movie filled with Corrupted Realm undead creatures.
The rebuilt San Romero setting provides a dramatic shift from the original game's town, now reimagined as Jaredwood—a glamorous film industry hub where danger lurks beneath the spotlight.
RePOP Remaster Gets Major Discounts
Dragami Games is offering limited-time discounts up to 45 percent on Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP across digital storefronts. The remaster is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam.
Nintendo Switch players can upgrade to the Switch 2 edition for $9.99. This promotion runs while the limited-time discount window stays active, helping fans revisit the original before Juliet's new adventure launches in 2027.
Franchise Expands Beyond Games Into Film
The Lollipop Chainsaw universe is growing. Bloody-Disgusting.com reports that a live-action R-rated action comedy film adaptation is also in development as a prequel to the original game. Dragami Games and Nada Holdings announced this project alongside the upcoming sequel.
Ssbcrack.com notes that the live-action adaptation aims to reshape the landscape of globally recognized entertainment franchises from Asia. The dual announcement signals the company's commitment to expanding Lollipop Chainsaw across multiple media platforms.
