Update (July 6): Goichi Suda and James Gunn have both clarified that they are not working on the remake of Lollipop Chainsaw. Polygon’s original review noted “rampant tonal problems and aggressive undercurrents of misogyny” that will be sure to draw renewed attention in the remake when it arrives next year.

But his message did not mention the original development studio Grasshopper Manufacture or its founder, and the game’s co-director, Goichi Suda, known as Suda 51.

Yasuda said that he had bought back the rights from the game’s original Japanese publisher, Kadokawa Games, and that the “original development staff” were working on the remake. Producer Yoshimi Yasuda shared the news on Twitter.

The remake is due out in 2023, but no platforms were confirmed. Lollipop Chainsaw, the cult 2012 game about a cheerleader battling zombies while her boyfriend’s disembodied head dangles from her waist, is being remade.
