Dragami Games, the successor to Kadokawa Games, has announced that they are working on a remake of Lollipop Chainsaw and are expecting to release the action game sometime in 2023. No platforms were revealed at the time of announcement but the announcement did feature a statement from the company’s president and game’s producer Yoshimi Yasuda.
This includes the fact that while the original game featured fifteen original songs, that it will likely be “unfortunately difficult for us to implement all of them this time. As a result, aside from a few licensed tracks, the soundtrack will consist of new music.” The company also stated that they will be taking a “more realistic approach to the graphics this time.”
To answer the question in the article, neither I nor @suda_51 are currently involved in this. I heard about it for the first time from Suda a couple weeks ago. https://t.co/hc659ROwXQ
It has already been stated by James Gunn that neither he nor Suda51 are currently involved in the remake in any way though it is worth noting that Yasuda has already slightly addressed this by saying that with the original game “as Suda-san was very busy handling development on other projects at the time, Yasuda served as director and producer, creating a joint development team consisting of staff from Grasshopper Manufacture and Kadokawa Games, overseeing development directly. Suda-san looked over the game design and supervised the project as an executive producer.”
In news that may be shocking to many considering the developer and its lack of Western console releases, it has been announced that Aniplex and Type-Moon will be releasing their visual novel Witch on the Holy Night in the West on December 8th for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. This is the same day that the game will be released in Japan and at release it will cost $39.99 though it is currently unknown whether the game will be given a physical release or only offered digitally at the time.
Witch on the Holy Night is set in 1980s Japan and tells the story of Aoko Aozaki as she attempts to navigate the complex world of magecraft while also dealing with the everyday struggles of life as a high school student! Players will experience the thrilling origin story of this much-beloved character. This console release will see a visual update and will also offer new, fully voiced dialogue in Japanese.
Spike Chunsoft has revealed that they will be releasing Chaos;Head Noah on PC worldwide alongside the previously announced Chaos;Head Noah / Chaos;Child Double Pack that is set to be released on the same day on October 7th. This will mark the first time that Chaos;Head Noah has ever been officially released in English on any platform.
In Chaos;Head Noah Takumi Nishijo is a second-year high school student on the verge of becoming a shut-in. “I have no interest in 3D.” He lives surrounded by his beautiful girl figures in his room. He lives in Shibuya, where there has been a series of bizarre serial murders known as “New Generation Madness” (aka NewGen).
The culprit has yet to be caught and has been causing unrest on the internet and television. One day, a gruesome image that seemed to predict the next NewGen killing was sent by a mysterious figure called “Shogun.” The next day, on his way home from school, Takumi encounters a horrific crime scene, exactly as predicted. Before the corpse is a blood-soaked girl—Rimi Sakihata.
Spike Chunsoft has announced that they will be releasing Anonymous;Code in the West sometime in 2023 for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC with pre-orders for the title beginning tomorrow on July 5th. A special physical launch edition of the game will be available and will offer a “Steelbook” case for the title when it is released.
Anonymous;Code is part of the Science Adventure Series and is the latest work from Steins;Gate creator Chiyomaru Shikura, in collaboration with returning staff from the series. In 2037 Pollon Takaoka is caught up in a tangle of plots as a result of his encounter with the mysterious girl Momo and faces a major event that shakes the world. Play with Pollon and help him to hack the myriad branches of reality and “load” the ending that saves the world.

A Light in the Dark was originally released in 2018 on PC after a successful Kickstarter and tells the story of Hao-Chen Jiang, a young man who wakes up to find himself tied to a chair, in a dim and dreary room he does not recognize. Standing before him is a young woman with a knife who informs him that he has been kidnapped and is being held for ransom.With more questions than answers, Hao-Chen must find a way to escape but perhaps there is more to this than merely money.
