The official Japanese website for the Lollipop Chainsaw zombie-hunting action began streaming a boss promotional video and a live-action "Juliet in Tokyo" video on Friday. The four-minute boss video highlights the game's musician bosses Zed, Vikke, Mariska, Josey, and Lewis. The live-action Juliet digest video feature's the game's "image girls" and includes clips from the May 19 promotional event.
Cosplayer Jessica Nigri and Mayu Kawamoto are performing as "sexy Juliet" and "cute Juliet" to promote the game.
James Gunn, writer-director of this year's film Super, co-writer of the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead, and writer-director of the films Tromeo and Juliet and Slither, is supervising the game's story scenario. Suda51 (No More Heroes) is acting as creative director for the game. Grasshopper Manufacture (Heroman, Rebuild of Evangelion: Sound Impact) and Kadokawa Games are co-producing Lollipop Chainsaw, and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment will release the game outside of all Asian territories.
Lollipop Chainsaw is slated for a June 12 release in North America on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles. The game will ship in Europe on June 13, followed by a release in Japan on June 14.
