Bayonetta 3 finally arrives in October



The long-awaited Nintendo Switch exclusive Bayonetta 3 will finally launch on 28th October, a new trailer has confirmed.

The long-awaited Bayonetta 3 is finally just three months away.

“The titular Umbra Witch must face a mysterious evil using her signature guns and time-slowing Witch Time ability,” Nintendo writes. “This time, invading man-made bioweapons called Homunculi find themselves in Bayonettas crosshairs.”

A new ability named Demon Masquerade will let Bayonetta channel the demon linked to her weapon for “exciting action options” and “hair-raising combos”. Bayonetta can also summon demons for “new, larger-than-life battles where you directly control the action”.

The games story will feature both Tokyo and the mountains of China, and let you play as the “feisty” witch Viola plus her demon companion Cheshire – the creature wih the rather large teeth in the above trailer.

A special edition version, titled the Trinity Masquerade Edition, will also be available on 28th October. It packs the game with a 200-page art book and title sheets for the whole trilogy.

In the run-up to that, a physical launch of the original Bayonetta will arrive on 30th September.

Today is the second day in a row with a major game announcement from Nintendo, which chose not to broadcast a first-party Nintendo Direct during this years traditional E3 window. Yesterday brought word of Kirbys Dream Buffet, which launches this summer as an eShop-exclusive downloadable game.
