Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Free Update Adds Requested Mode

Summary
- Nightmare Mode is now available in Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, offering players a tougher experience.
- The game is currently 40% off until May 5 for Xbox players, April 29 for those on the Switch, and April 28 for PC gamers.
A new update has dropped for Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, adding the highly requested Nightmare Mode. Players can test out their zombie-slaying skills in this mode, which arrives side by side with a massive new 40% discount on the game itself, making now a great time to hop into Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP for the first time or the hundredth.
Gamers are likely quite used to the idea of a classic game getting remade and remastered for modern hardware, which is exactly what happened to the cult-classic Lollipop Chainsaw back in September 2024. Designed to be a more refined and definitive version of the bright and colorful yet often gruesome Lollipop Chainsaw experience, RePOP takes players back to one of video gaming’s most unique hack-and-slash adventures. Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP keeps all the candy-coated visuals and cheeky storyline elements intact while letting players enjoy the title on modern hardware. Reactions have been somewhat mixed, with some feeling the port could have provided more content. However, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP still features the same fun campaign to tear through, as well as a brand-new Nightmare Mode.

The producer of the upcoming Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP explains the changes included in the remastered action game’s classic-style Original mode.
As part of a brand-new update, Nightmare Mode has officially launched for Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP. This highly requested mode tasks players with battling hordes of zombies the same way they would during Lollipop Chainsaw‘s main campaign. However, Lollipop Chainsaw‘s main character Juliet awakens as a legendary zombie hunter this time around, and all enemies have been given names. The story progresses the same way, but certain foes, like the “Voices of Darkness,” have received parameter and behavior changes, making them even harder to fight against. RePOP is currently 40% off, with this sale ongoing until May 5 for Xbox players, April 29 for those on the Switch, and April 28 for PC gamers.
Nightmare Mode Now Available in Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP
While playing in Nightmare Mode, players pick a number of items that help awaken Juliet’s abilities. High-power dumbbells help increase Juliet’s attack power, whereas the speed armband increases how quickly the protagonist can attack. The smart chip helps speed up Sparkle Hunting effects, and the chain motor speeds up slicing quick-time-events. Effective combat is crucial in Lollipop Chainsaw, with Juliet’s primary method of attack being none other than a large chainsaw.
This new update follows several others, one of which added a new outfit for Lollipop Chainsaw players to use on Juliet. Lollipop Chainsaw‘s return was met with quite a bit of fanfare, including a massive RePOP collector’s edition, which included both the game as well as a statue of the game’s main character. Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP also recently received a photo mode, allowing players to get creative and highlight some of their coolest moments in-game.
