The highly anticipated Nintendo Switch-exclusive Bayonetta 3 will finally be released on October 28, a new trailer has confirmed.
The third section of Platinum Games was first announced almost five years ago and has been MIA for much of that time. However, today’s long trailer gives us a good look at the game. Here it is:
The long-awaited Bayonetta 3 is finally just three months away.
“The titular Umbra witch must face a mysterious evil using her distinctive weapons and time-stopping Witch Time ability,” Nintendo writes. “This time, the man-made invasive biological weapons called Homunculi are in Bayonetta’s crosshairs.”
A new ability called Demon Masquerade will allow Bayonetta to channel the demon linked to his weapon for “exciting action options” and “hair combos.” Bayonetta can also summon demons for “new battles bigger than life where you directly control the action.”
The story of the game will feature Tokyo and the mountains of China, and will allow you to play as the “spelled” witch Viola and her demon companion Cheshire, the creature with the rather large teeth of the previous trailer.
A special edition version, titled Trinity Masquerade Edition, will also be available on October 28th. The game includes a 200-page art book and title sheets for the entire trilogy.
In view of this, the physical launch of the original Bayonetta will arrive on 30 September.
Today is the second day in a row with a major announcement of the Nintendo game, which chose not to air a first-party Nintendo Direct during this year’s traditional E3 window. Yesterday gave news of Kirby’s Dream Buffet, which will be released this summer as an exclusive downloadable game from the eShop.
What will the rest of this week bring? I would like some Mario Kart DLC news, please.
