Nintendo revealed a new trailer for Bayonetta 3 at today’s Direct — or, to be more specific, after it. At seven minutes, the new trailer contains too much witchy magic to be contained in one Direct. It expands on the new abilities shown previously, and reveals a few more for both of the playable characters.
Bayonetta 3, which has been in development for what feels like forever, is set to launch on October 28. Previous trailers have shown some of the gameplay, but the new trailer gives a more extensive look at the options. While they weren’t present in the gameplay trailer, the teaser shown at the Direct implied that series characters Luka and Jeanne might also be playable.
One gameplay feature of note common to both characters was the Immortal Marionette. This accessory allows players to activate an auto-play mode of sorts, where the characters will do their combos with a single button. It’s a good option to make the game more accessible to players who might have difficulty with more intricate combos.
The trailer shows off Bayonetta’s new abilities, including her Masquerade moves and her new demonic summons. In her Masquerade form, Bayonetta takes on the aspect of one of her patron demons in order to deliver more powerful attacks. As one of her summons is the spider demon Phantasmaranae, this means she can turn into a giant spider. These forms can be used for movement too, as at one point she swings Spider-Man style across a gap.
