Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Delayed to May 28 on Nintendo Switch 2

Fans waiting for Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP will need to wait a bit longer, as the game has been rescheduled from its original March 26 release date to May 28. The updated release will now target Nintendo's upcoming Switch 2 console.

Lollipop Chainsaw originally launched in 2012 as an action game developed by Grasshopper Manufacture under the direction of Suda51. The game followed zombie hunter Juliet Starling as she battles through her infected high school. RePOP represents a remastered version of the cult classic, bringing updated visuals and potentially new features to modern gaming platforms.

The delay coincides with Nintendo's planned launch window for their next-generation console, suggesting the developers want to take advantage of the new hardware capabilities. This timing could mean enhanced performance, improved graphics, or additional features that weren't possible on the original Switch hardware.

While the two-month delay might disappoint eager fans, it positions the game to be part of the Switch 2's early library. The original Lollipop Chainsaw gained a dedicated following for its unique blend of action gameplay and distinctive visual style, making the remaster highly anticipated among fans of quirky action games.

The May release date puts Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP in an interesting position as one of the potential early titles for Nintendo's new console generation.
