When Will Lollipop Chainsaw 2 Back2Back Release?

Dragami Games schedules Lollipop Chainsaw 2 Back2Back for launch in 2027 on PlayStation 5 for its initial rollout. The publisher confirmed the target release window alongside development partners Nada Holdings and JP Universe. Players can test the first public playable demo at Tokyo Game Show 2026 before Dragami Games confirms additional platform availability.

The zombie hack-and-slash sequel marks the return of protagonist Juliet Starling fourteen years after the original 2012 release. Dragami Games currently lists PlayStation 5 as the sole confirmed console format.

Public attendees can experience the initial hands-on build at the Sega and Atlus exhibition booth during Tokyo Game Show 2026. Dragami Games plans to reveal whether other hardware platforms will join the lineup during future production milestones.


Who Is Developing Lollipop Chainsaw 2 Back2Back?

Dragami Games and Taiwanese investment partner Nada Holdings co-produce the sequel alongside development studio JP Universe. The core production team unites original series scenario writer Masahiro Yuki and character designer NekoshowguN with former Final Fantasy XV director Hajime Tabata to supervise the expanded combat mechanics and narrative scope.

Nada Holdings originally teased the joint venture in July 2025 during an investment campaign to produce games and animation based on the intellectual property. The production brings back critical creative leadership from the 2012 cult classic.

JP Universe manages active game engineering under Tabata’s direction. The joint development structure aims to modernize the acrobatic cheerleader combat system for modern hardware.

While attendees at TGS can already experience it, the Taiwanese Youtube channel of Bahamut (Bahagamecrazy) was allowed to share 8 minutes of gameplay, showcasing in particular the fight against the Barbie inspired boss Zorbie.


Jaredwood Sets the Stage for Juliet Starling’s New Campaign

The narrative transplants Juliet Starling from San Romero High School to Jaredwood, an expansive metropolis centered on the motion picture industry. Dragami Games detailed the premise on the official Playstation page.

A sinister film director traps Juliet inside an active horror production populated by corrupted zombie legions. Juliet Starling must partner with surviving allies to expose the cinematic conspiracy fueling the outbreak.

Early gameplay footage reveals Juliet sporting a new cheerleading uniform while wielding enhanced chainsaw abilities. Combat encounters preserve the rhythmic synergy of pom-pom stuns, high gymnastics, and rapid chainsaw strikes. With the new additions of roller skates giving Juliet higher mobility.
