Everything we know about Bayonetta 3: Trailers, gameplay and more

pocket-lint.com:

(Pocket-lint) — Bayonetta 3 has been a long time coming — the last game came out in 2014, after all, so we're well past the stage where another sequel is overdue.

The bombastic action game series has legions of devoted fans, and we're getting a third outing, but details have been thin on the ground. Find out all the key points right here.

We first got official confirmation of Bayonetta 3 way back in late 2017 when it was announced that The Game Awards with the extremely brief pre-rendered teaser you can check out below.

We then heard nothing for pretty much four long years, before another trailer surfaced during a welcome Nintendo Direct to show off the first gameplay and confirm that Bayonetta 3 should be coming out in 2022, although we don't know exactly when.

As both trailers have made clear, Bayonetta 3 is coming to one platform and one platform only — the " rel="" target="_blank">Nintendo Switch.

Although the first game was available on a few consoles, Bayonetta 2 only ever appeared on the beleaguered Wii U before being re-released on the Switch, and it would seem that PlatinumGames is happy to keep things limited to Nintendo again.

There's no saying whether it could be ported down the line, but if you want to play Bayonetta 3 at launch you'll need a Switch to do so.

Bayonetta's story across two games so far has been frankly unhinged, with time loops and time travelling mixing in with crazy paranormal demons and a war between eldritch gods via their earthly worshippers or opponents.

If you haven't played the last two games, we think you're almost guaranteed to be able to drop into Bayonetta 3 without any real knowledge beyond the fact that this is a world of demons and warrior nuns that use their semi-sentient hair
