#BAYONETTA 1 AND 2 SWITCH SERIES#

This time it looks like Bayonetta will have even more direct control over the super-enteties she sometimes summons, too, with a fight that looks like you might as well be a kaiju appearing at one point. Once again you can blend ranged attacks using Bayonetta's pistols with close-up assaults using kicks and jabs, powering yourself up to be able to unleash hair attacks that do more damage and torture attacks that finish enemies off in BDSM-inflected ways.

The second trailer we got for Bayonetta 3, in late 2021, is a longer look that gives us some snippets of gameplay to sink our teeth into, and you can see that it's very much a smooth evolution of the combat we enjoyed so much in the first two games.

One interesting tidbit is that the second trailer ends with a mysterious sword-wielding figure slashing the date away, and they're an all-new character design for the series - could this be a new adversary for Bayonetta to face? If that sounds crazy, well, Bayonetta is more than a little crazy and leans heavily into its camp and crazy tone to serve up twisting melodramatic tales where the story is very much secondary to the action, and we're pretty sure we'll get more of the same from the third instalment. If you haven't played the last two games, we think you're almost guaranteed to be able to drop into Bayonetta 3 without any real knowledge beyond the fact that this is a world of demons and warrior nuns that use their semi-sentient hair to fight evil. Bayonetta's story across two games so far has been frankly unhinged, with time loops and time travelling mixing in with crazy paranormal demons and a war between eldritch gods via their earthly worshippers or opponents.
