A brief teaser trailer was shown off, doing little else but establishing that the game is in fact real and in development, but also potentially hinting at some sort of narrative conflict as well. A sharp eye picking through the footage can spot streaks of blood running down Bayonetta’s face, as well as her seemingly falling apart after being split in half by a mysterious ghostly entity. The Umbran Witch Seal towards the end of the trailer being purple may also hint at the game’s color scheme, as was the case with the first Bayonetta being heavy on red and Bayonetta 2 being heavy on blue.
As for the Switch re-releases of both Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2, it seems that Bayonetta 2 will be receiving both a physical and digital release, while the first game may only be getting digital. Additionally, similar to how the initial edition of Bayonetta 2 on Wii U came with a disc copy of the first Bayonetta for the sake of those in Nintendo’s audience who might not have played it, each physical copy of Bayonetta 2 will also come with a download code for the full game of Bayonetta.
No dates or major details have yet been revealed for Bayonetta 3, though the game is confirmed to be in development, and the Switch ports of Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2 will be available for purchase on February 16th, 2018. Stay tuned to GameSkinny for more details on Bayonetta 3 as they develop.
