One of the most anticipated Nintendo Switch games has finally revealed its release date. Bayonetta 3 offers us news, and we summarize it all in detail.
[Mis à jour le 13 juillet 2022 à 15h59] PlanitumGames and Nintendo have finally come out of their silence! Bayonetta 3, the long-awaited sequel to the adventures of our beloved witch is coming next October, an announcement that fans are happily welcoming. As a reminder, the game was originally announced by Nintendo in December 2017, and had been waiting for just over five years. It is therefore quite normal that the web is in turmoil after the publication of a video by Nintendo in the middle of July. On the menu for this third installment? A more stylish Bayonetta than ever, new skills and an ever-epic plot. We summarize everything about this new release.
New skills, action more brutal and epic than ever, Bayonetta is clearly shaping up to be a Nintendo Switch blockbuster. The Nintendo and PlatinumGames game gives us a look at its plot and gameplay in this teaser that’s just over three minutes long. You can see iconic characters from the franchise, and especially our favorite Umbra Witch. In this third installment, Bayonetta finds herself battling a mysterious enemy using her time-slowing powers and her favorite weapons. She must also repel an invasion of Homunculi, biological weapons built by Man.
If you are not familiar with the Bayonetta series, which is probably not the case if you are reading these lines, know that the game is placed in the category of action adventure games, while borrowing a lot to the beat-em-all category. In Bayonetta 3, you embody both Bayonetta, the Umbra witch with well-defined skills and weapons who does not hesitate to use her powers and take the form of demons to overcome groups of enemies by ten. But that’s not all, in this new part, you will also have the opportunity to embody Viola, a young apprentice witch accompanied by her feline demon Chouchou
To make it short, Bayonetta 3 is coming to Nintendo Switch on October 28, 2022. An exclusive release on the Nintendo console, which needed a little boost in the field of its novelties in 2022. The console can therefore boast of having a very attractive title for new players. The title is already available for pre-order on the Nintendo UK official site, at the fairly substantial price of £49.99 (probably €49.99 in France). We will let you know when pre-orders are available on Nintendo’s French site.
