Dragami Games announced that the Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Nintendo Switch 2 Edition has been delayed to early 2026. In September, the developer announced the enhanced version of the game would come out in November 2025, but additional time is needed to enable the simultaneous release of a physical edition.
The extra time will also allow Dragami Games to add a Switch 2 exclusive Gun Shooting Mode.
Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP on Nintendo Switch 2 will also have mouse-like controls using the Joy-Con 2, providing a more “intuitive aiming experience”.
Here is the statement provided by the company on X (Twitter):
While the title was initially planned to be released as a digital-only version, we received many requests for a physical edition following the announcement. In response, and with the cooperation of multiple publishing partners, we are now able to prepare physical releases for multiple regions.
To align the release timing of both the digital and physical editions, we have decided to postpone the release.
We sincerely apologize for the extended wait and any inconvenience this may cause. We appreciate your understanding and continued support.
We are also pleased to announce a new Nintendo Switch 2 Edition–exclusive mode, “Gun Shooting Mode.”
This mode is an additional feature in which players fend off incoming zombies using only the Chainsaw Blaster’s ranged attacks, and it becomes available to play after clearing either Original Mode or RePOP Mode.
The mode also supports mouse-like controls using the Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con 2, providing a more intuitive aiming experience.
Please look forward to it.
In August 2025, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP sold over 300,000 copies worldwide across PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series. It was announced that Dragami Games and Nada Holdings are planning an animated series and a sequel to Lollipop Chainsaw.
