Lollipop Chainsaw 2 Back2Back

Lollipop Chainsaw 2 Back2Back is the formally announced new entry in Dragami Games’ zombie-action series, built around the return of Juliet Starling rather than a separate successor or spiritual follow-up. Dragami Games announced the title on September 17, 2026, identifying it as an all-new Lollipop Chainsaw game for PlayStation 5 and saying it is planned for release in 2027. ([dragamigames.co.jp](https://www.dragamigames.co.jp/topics/?day=20260917)) The PlayStation Store page lists Nada Holdings Corp. as publisher, marks the game as announced, identifies it as a one-player title, and categorizes it under Horror and Action.

The premise is unusually specific to the series’ absurd pop-horror identity: Juliet returns to San Romero, but the setting has been rebuilt as “Jaredwood,” a movie-industry metropolis. A mysterious director traps her inside his warped zombie film, forcing her to fight with allies, investigate the conspiracy behind the chaos, and confront a new danger from the Corrupted Realm zombies. ([store.playstation.com](https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10020816)) That setup connects directly to Lollipop Chainsaw’s established mixture of cheerleader spectacle, undead combat, celebrity-culture parody, and deliberately outrageous genre framing, while giving the sequel a film-world hook rather than simply repeating the high-school outbreak premise.

The project’s production history also ties it closely to the original game’s legacy. Gematsu reported that the announced staff includes Hajime Tabata, known for directing Final Fantasy XV; Masahiro Yuki, who co-produced and wrote the scenario for the original Lollipop Chainsaw; and NekoshowguN, who handled the original game’s main character concept art. The same report names Dragami Games and Nada Holdings as publishers and JP Universe as developer, and notes that Lollipop Chainsaw 2 Back2Back was playable at Tokyo Game Show 2026, held September 17–21 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan.

Back2Back follows the franchise’s renewed activity after Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, whose anniversary sale was promoted alongside the sequel announcement. Dragami’s announcement specifically positioned RePOP as Juliet’s origin point for players to revisit before the 2027 sequel. ([dragamigames.co.jp](https://www.dragamigames.co.jp/topics/?day=20260917)) At this stage, the most verifiable facts are that Back2Back is not a remaster, not a rumor, and not merely a concept tease: it is an officially titled PS5 action-horror sequel centered on Juliet Starling’s return to a transformed San Romero.
