The publisher of the international release has been announced yesterday. We will get to play Lollipop Chainsaw, outside of Japan in 2012 thanks to Warner Bros. Interactive. The publisher announced a new partnership with Lollipop’s Japanese publisher, Kadokawa Games. A good match? Both companies are media conglomerates who have only recently expanded into games.

We can expect other collaborations with creators from Hollywood and Japan, Kadokawa promised. Seems that writer/director James Gunn (Slither, Dawn of the Dead) will be supervising Lollipop’s scenario.

Creative director of Grasshopper Manufacture, Suda 51, reveals that Lollipop Chainsaw is 75% complete. He hints that we could be seeing more of main character Juliet in the future, saying that he and Kadokawa hope to develop her into an actress.

Cheerleader heroine, chainsaw, and a guy’s head hanging? How weird. Can’t wait for the trailer to be up.
