Bayonetta 3 Release Date Confirmed With New Action-Packed Trailer
Nintendo has announced that Bayonetta 3 will be launching on the Nintendo Switch later this fall, making it the big Halloween release for the system. This announcement was hot on the heels of Bayonetta 3 receiving a Mature rating by the ESRB, which suggested that the game was close to completion.
Bayonetta 3 was one of the last hold-out games that had been announced during the Switch's first year, yet took a long time to actually hit store shelves. The initial Nintendo Switch announcement in 2017 included Shin Megami Tensei V and hints at a third No More Heroes game, both of which launched in 2021. Bayonetta 3 was announced at The Game Awards 2017 and it won't launch until this year. The only hold-out left at this point is Metroid Prime 4, which was announced at E3 2017 and hasn't been seen since.

The official Nintendo UK YouTube account has uploaded a new action-packed trailer for Bayonetta 3, confirming that it will launch on October 28. The trailer revealed that Bayonetta won't be the only playable character in the game, as she will be joined by a sword-wielding apprentice witch named Viola, who fights alongside a giant demonic Chesire Cat. The villains in the game have also been revealed to be bio-weapons, rather than the forces of Heaven or Hell, as seen in previous Bayonetta games.
