Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP sales have exceeded expectations

Lollipop Chainsaw is a highly interesting video game. Released back in 2012, the hack-and-slash title was the brainchild of video game director Suda51 and famed film writer/director James Gunn. Over a decade on from its release, a remaster (in the form of Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP) finally dropped back in September – to higher-than-expected sales.

As reported by the Japanese publication Gamebiz (and translated by Automaton), Dragami Games’ parent company ‘Extreme’ published their latest fiscal earnings report, revealing that the recently-released Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP has “significantly exceeded initial sales targets.”

The success of the remaster has helped to raise the company’s overall revenue forecast for the year, with a projected 5.9% increase in net sales and a 52.1% boost to net profit – though we did not get any concrete sales figures for the title itself.

Given the fact that the last-gen version of RePOP is set to arrive next month, it’s possible that future projections might need to be reevaluated once again. We will have to wait and see.
