New Lollipop Chainsaw Gets World‑Premiere Demo at Tokyo Game Show

The playable demo and stage events set expectations for a major reveal with core details and original creators' roles still unconfirmed.

Overview

  • Dragami Games confirmed Thursday that a world‑premiere playable demo of the new Lollipop Chainsaw will be available at the SEGA/Atlus booth during Tokyo Game Show 2026.
  • SEGA will act as the game's distribution partner in Japan and Southeast Asia and the playable demo is being billed as an early hands‑on opportunity for attendees.
  • Two stage events are scheduled for September 18 and 19 where director Mr. Nasu and JP Univers CEO Hajime Tabata will appear and a major announcement is expected.
  • Key commercial details remain unannounced: the official title and release platforms have not been revealed, and Dragami says some original staff will take part but has not named them.
  • The franchise began in 2012 with Grasshopper Manufacture and a James Gunn co‑written script and recent remaster work by Dragami has heightened fan scrutiny, so the TGS demo could shape reactions to the new game's tone and staffing.
