Nintendo and Platinum Games have revealed a new Bayonetta spin-off will arrive on Switch early next year. Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon, which was revealed during The Game Awards this evening, is set to launch on March 17, 2023.

Players will be able to control both Cereza and Cheshire in the new game, which Nintendo has confirmed features a young version of Bayonetta 3's Cereza.

IGN's review of Bayonetta 3, which was released in October this year, called it a "more ambitious sequel than its more iterative predecessor" and praised its high-quality and challenging combat.
