Dragami Games and NADA Holdings have confirmed a new Lollipop Chainsaw game and anime are both in development \u2014 and on 19 September, Tokyo Game Show 2026 will be the stage for &#8220;a major announcement regarding a new project.&#8221; For Singapore fans who grew up with the cult zombie-slasher on PS3, this is one TGS stage worth setting an alarm for.<\/p>\n<h2>New Lollipop Chainsaw Game and Anime: What We Know<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lc_action-scaled.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP gameplay \u2014 Juliet in action against zombie horde\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Dragami Games<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Dragami Games and NADA Holdings first confirmed that a brand-new Lollipop Chainsaw game and anime adaptation were in the works back in July 2025. Those announcements were light on detail \u2014 which is exactly why the TGS 2026 stage matters. It represents the first substantial public look at either project since the initial reveal.<\/p>\n<p>The franchise has strong pedigree to draw on. The original <em>Lollipop Chainsaw<\/em> \u2014 developed by Grasshopper Manufacture and directed by Suda51 \u2014 sold more than 1.5 million copies when it launched on PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2012. Dragami Games, which now holds the IP, brought the series back in 2024 with the remaster <em>Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP<\/em>, updated for current platforms. The follow-up game and anime would mark the franchise&#8217;s first full original expansion in over a decade.<\/p>\n<h2>What Dragami Is Bringing to TGS 2026<\/h2>\n<p>The official TGS 2026 programme lists the stage slot as <strong>19 September, 9:40\u201310:30 AM JST<\/strong> and names several key figures on stage alongside a cosplayer portraying Juliet Starling complete with a life-size replica of her chainsaw. The event schedule breaks down as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Promotional video introducing the world and style of the franchise<\/li>\n<li>Juliet Starling cosplayer takes the stage with life-size chainsaw prop<\/li>\n<li>IP producer and director Nasu discuss the new game<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Major announcement regarding a new project&#8221; to close the stage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hajime Tabata \u2014 former director of <em>Final Fantasy XV<\/em> and current CEO of JP UNIVERSE \u2014 is named in the event listing. His involvement in the new project adds a notable JRPG pedigree to Dragami&#8217;s team; the combination of Nasu&#8217;s IP stewardship and Tabata&#8217;s large-scale production experience is an intriguing pairing for a game of this IP&#8217;s scope.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gt-video\">\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iacKQtesXlQ\" title=\"LOLLIPOP CHAINSAW RePOP FIRST TRAILER\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption>LOLLIPOP CHAINSAW RePOP FIRST TRAILER \u2014 via Dragami Games on YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>How Singapore Fans Can Watch the TGS 2026 Reveal<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lc_hunting-scaled.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP \u2014 Juliet on the hunt against zombie enemies\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Dragami Games<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You don&#8217;t need a plane ticket to catch this one. <a href=\"\/blog\/tgs-2026-ticket-lottery-guide-singapore\/\">TGS 2026<\/a> \u2014 which runs from 17 to 21 September at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan \u2014 streams live and free across YouTube, X, Twitch, and TikTok for international viewers.
