As expected, Nada Holdings and Dragami Games have officially unveiled Lollipop Chainsaw 2 Back2Back, a sequel to the cult favourite PS3 action game.

Dragami Games revived the original with the remake Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, and it's now working on a direct follow-up.

The sequel once again stars Juliet Starling, who must navigate a rebuilt San Romero that's been transformed into a place called Jaredwood.

"When a mysterious director traps her inside his twisted zombie movie, Juliet must fight alongside her allies, uncover the conspiracy behind the chaos, and stop a new threat posed by the Corrupted Realm zombies," reads the official description.

There doesn't appear to be a trailer as yet, but there is this gameplay footage, showing about eight minutes of zombie-slicing action.

Juliet uses her signature chainsaw along with some cheerleading moves to fend off the undead, and it's coupled with roller skates you can use to move around at speed. The skates are a great idea, I think — it makes her a super nimble character and gives the combat a little more energy.

However, the early footage is very rough-looking, with some awkward camera jank and choppy animations. Obviously there's still work to be done, but I'm not sure it was ready to show off quite yet.

With no involvement from some of the original creators, like writer James Gunn and director Suda51, there's concern this won't measure up, but again, it's early days.

Anyway, there you have it — a sequel to the ultimate Sammy-coded game is on the way. Are you interested in Lollipop Chainsaw 2 Back2Back? Tell us in the comments section below.
