Bayonetta 3 coming October 28th, 2022 to Switch

Love the fakeouts throughout the trailer leading up to her introduction, I legit thought we were looking at a sequel to Astral Chain until she appeared. Those braided pigtails make my gay heart sing.

Spoiler

Also was that Vergil from the Devil May Cry series at the end?

 

If that dialogue isn't translated as "oh no, our weapons are useless", they've missed a trick.

 

Considering how young this Bayonetta looks, I'm wondering if it's not supposed to be an adult version of "Cereza" from the alternate timeline, and if this whole thing is just a fakeout. Recasting Bayonetta would be a huge mistake, considering how solid Helena Taylor has been throughout the previous games. Is her voice different in the Japanese trailer? I know that Taylor tweeted cryptically earlier this month about not voicing Bayonetta anymore, but I do wonder if it's just a bit of a marketing ploy.

 

Ya Bayonetta looks different here for sure, so do the monster designs, so maybe this is an alternate Cereza timeline

But her original voice actress was great. If she left she'll be missed. Still though can't wait for this game.

 

This one looks a bit different but I think it looks like a good time! I loved 1 and 2 (especially 2) so I'm really looking forward to this, although I wish Bayonetta's voice actress wasn't replaced (that and I liked her Bayonetta 2 outfit/hairstyle better)

 

Glad we finally got a proper trailer, but I have some reservations. The villain this time doesn't seem very original or as iconic as Balder was. Bayonetta for me has never been about story or humour (though I thought it was pretty good!). What I liked the most about her was the exquisite design and the medieval setting, besides the ballsy action o' course. There's more to the series than the trailer suggests.

That being said, I'm loving the new outfits. I have no idea what's going on storywise, but the character design is top notch as usual.

 

I think it's intentional for the story.
