Bayonetta 3 release date announced

PlatinumGames and Nintendo announced that Bayonetta 3 will launch on the Nintendo Switch on October 28, 2022. A new trailer was released to celebrate the release date, showing new footage and introducing new characters in this third installment. 

The trailer features the return of all Rodin, Luka, and a new face named Viola, who wields a massive sword and seems to be new to the whole witch business. 

The developers also revealed the Naive Angel mode, which simply makes the game more kid-friendly. For example, Bayonetta’s transformation with this new mode on will not reveal any skin. Understandable since, well, it’s Nintendo. 

Relax, the witch is back and sexier than ever🌙

We've added the revolutionary "Naive Angel Mode" to Bayonetta 3 so more people can fully enjoy it👍

By turning it on, you can play right in the living room without having to worry about what's on screen... we think😅#Bayonetta3 pic.twitter.com/SEs3vqrdYc

The Trinity Masquerade Edition was also revealed as this edition includes a full-color 200-page art book, and three reversible game cases designed to accommodate all three games of the Bayonetta franchise. Pretty fitting as Nintendo also announced that limited physical copies of the original Bayonetta will launch on September 30.
