Nintendo Suggests Bayonetta 3 Will Have Two Bayonettas

thegamer.com:

Nintendo appears to be in a very good mood this week. It followed up on the reveal that we will be getting a new Kirby game this summer by finally revealing when Bayonetta 3 will launch. Confirmation of a release date was accompanied by an all-new trailer, and eagle-eyed Bayonetta fans may have noticed the series' hero appears to come face-to-face with herself at one point.

Don't worry if you missed it, you definitely wouldn't have been the only one. In fact, Nintendo appeared to be banking on the brief moment passing most viewers by as it shared a still shortly after the trailer reveal highlighting the moment. First Nintendo of America asked “is that another Bayonetta?” before other official Nintendo accounts shared a screenshot and confirmed there will be at least two Bayonettas.
