Bayonetta 3 is Giving Fans EXACTLY What They Want

Bayonetta 3 is quite the anticipated title.. although fans have been a little weary of getting their hopes too high as after the last trailer dropped, players began to speculate that Nintendo had finally gotten their grubby little fingers into every crevice of the franchise and were going to be heavily censoring it. However, PlatinumGames Vice President Hideki Kamiya himself confirmed otherwise:

“If you look at the trailer we released in September, hopefully that should reassure you that we have been hard at work on development, and it should also show you that there are a lot of new elements in this game that were not in Bayonetta 1 and 2. I hope the footage released so far will fuel your expectations for this game. At the beginning of the trailer, viewers might have been confused about what game it was for, and then we introduced some enemies, and still it was kept unclear, and then Bayonetta appeared. I think the fact that we were able to pull off this misdirection in the trailer shows that the new game has its own color. Bayonetta 3 looks a little different, and it includes some new types of gameplay, so I hope players will find it fresh. When we released the previous trailer, some fans thought that maybe working with Nintendo had meant we were under some kind of restrictions in terms of creative expression, but that is absolutely not the case. This will be a very Bayonetta-esque Bayonetta game”

Furthermore, he went on to note that players should “not underestimate” him.

Admittedly actions speak louder than words and it remains to be seen whether or not Nintendo will ruin the game. But this provides a little hope for us fans.
