Bayonetta 3 is one of the most highly anticipated games coming to the Nintendo Switch in 2022. Announced five years ago at The Game Awards 2017, Bayonetta 3 then mostly disappeared for a while, until in 2021 fans got their first look at gameplay. Then, the third game in the Bayonetta series went quiet again, leading some fans to fear a release date delay. However, recently Nintendo has confirmed that Bayonetta 3 will be launching in October 2022 with a new gameplay trailer.

Apart from the release date, plenty of other things were shown off in the new gameplay trailer. Returning characters like Rodan, Jeanne, and Luca were confirmed. A new addition to Bayonetta 3 was also introduced in Viola, who is a witch training under Bayonetta. As well as side characters appearing in the trailer, it seems that another version of the titular protagonist may show up in Bayonetta 3, as displayed in a screenshot Nintendo has since put up on its Twitter.

The image was posted alongside the caption, «Wait, is that…two Bayonettas?» With that simple tweet, Nintendo seemed to confirm for fans that another version of the famed witch could be appearing in Bayonetta 3. Fans may not have noticed that this other character is indeed another version of Bayonetta when watching the trailer, as the alternate witch is wearing an outfit vastly different from what players of the first two Bayonetta games would expect. The clothing for the second Bayonetta is red and gold, with a flamboyant design and even some armor on the shoulders.

Given the recent success of films like Everything Everywhere All at Once and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, some fans are already creating multiverse theories
