  "account": "Lollipop Chainsaw 2 Back2Back has been announced for release on PlayStation 5 in 2027. The sequel will see zombie-slaying cheerleader Juliet Starling return, now equipped with new skateboarding abilities. The original Lollipop Chainsaw, released in 2012, gained cult status for its witty script and offbeat ideas. While original creators writer James Gunn and director Suda51 are not involved, the game is being developed by Dragami Games, who previously remastered the original title. The new game takes place in the revamped San Romero, now called Jaredwood, a city built around the film industry. Juliet must battle a mysterious director's twisted zombie movie and confront the Corrupted Realm zombies, with her new rollerskates allowing her to move faster. Online reactions to the reveal have been mixed, with some suggesting the sequel looks unpolished.",
