Lollipop Chainsaw is the next game by Grasshopper Manufacture and the famous over-the-top director, Suda51. Like Shadows of the Damned before it, the soundtrack is being composed by Akira Yamaoka (of Silent Hill fame) and the game looks to be delightfully hilarious and deliciously gory. Juliet Starling is a popular cheerleader at the local San Romero High School. Beyond her preppy demeanor lies the heart of a killer, as her family comes from a long line of Zombie Hunters. Things go awry when Juliet’s former classmate, Swan, turns out to be an evil goth sorcerer who summons the zombie rock and roll lords and starts a zombie outbreak. With her boyfriend’s unfortunately body-less head attached to her miniskirt, she goes out to save the school with her trusty magical chainsaw.
The game has no official release date yet but is slated to pop up this year. We now have word on the pre-order bonuses for the game, which come in the form of extra costumes for Juliet to wear. Per usual with different sets of pre-order goodies split between Gamestop, Amazon, and Best Buy.
