News Suda51's Cult Hit Action Game Lollipop Chainsaw Is Coming Back, Apparently
Yoshimi Yasuda says so
Here's a game we haven't thought about in a long time. Lollipop Chainsaw, developed by Suda51's studio Grasshopper Manufacture, was a PS3 action title starring a zombie-slaying cheerleader.

Co-Starlings
Warner Bros has released a brand new trailer introducing Juliet Starling’s zombie-slaying siblings in Lollipop Chainsaw.
