Bayonetta 3 was shown off at the Game Awards back in December 2017 and we have not heard anything about the game since. Platinum Games did mention that the development is going well and Nintendo told us the same but that got us thinking that Bayonetta 3 release might not be this year but that does not seem to be the case.
Nintendo of America’s senior product marketing manager Bill Trinen recently mentioned that the Bayonetta 3 release is “sooner than anticipated”. This could mean that the game is coming later this year. The following is what he had to say in this regard:
This is what I think is so great about the partnership between Nintendo and Platinum Games. Because to me, I look at [Astral Chain] and I see the kind of intense action game that historically you haven’t seen a lot of on Nintendo platforms. With this collaboration with Platinum Games, being able to bring stuff like that… and knowing that they mentioned, of course, Bayonetta 3, [which is] still in the works, it helps to round out the library overall of what’s available on Switch.
Nintendo has plenty of games coming in the second half of 2019 and this could be one of them. Some of the games that Nintendo has confirmed include the following:
- Hollow Knight: Silksong
- Super Mario Maker 2
- Fire Emblem: Three Houses
- Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice
- The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening Remake
- Dragon Quest Builders 2
- Four Final Fantasy Games
Trinen further went on to mention the following:
And of course, that’s another game that’s maybe coming a little bit sooner than people anticipated, later this year.
This is not the actual confirmation of the Bayonetta 3 release window but at least we know that the game will come out before when we expected it to. We will keep you updated regarding the matter, so stay tuned for more information.
Let us know what you think about Bayonetta 3 and whether or not you are interested in playing the game.
