When is the release date of Bayonetta 3? Answered
The past few years were agonizing for Bayonetta fans. While Bayonetta 3 on the Nintendo Switch is a sure thing, followers of the character action series only had slivers of information from Nintendo, Platinum Games, and series creator Hideki Kamiya. It’s been mostly silence from Nintendo and Platinum since the game’s 2017 reveal, but we now know the release date of Bayonetta 3.
When is Bayonetta 3 releasing?Bayonetta 3 is releasing on October 28, fulfilling the promised 2022 launch window. The Bayonetta 3 announcement came along with the reveal that the first two Bayonetta games would come to Switch — those ports released in February 2018. Since then, the eponymous witch appeared in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, which came out on Switch in December 2018. In between the Bayonetta 3 reveal and July of 2022, the game was a no-show in subsequent industry events. It wasn’t until the September 2021 Nintendo Direct that Nintendo finally confirmed the release window of 2022.
Kamiya and Platinum Games insist that progress on the title is “going very well” in their eyes. Most recently, Kamiya told VGC in January 2021: “We’ve got to have something come out, right? I guess it’s safe to expect that something will come out. There’s still a lot of the year left is what I’m saying.” Not the most confident confirmation of new information coming soon, but it’s something to hold on to.
The most recent titles from Platinum Games are the Switch-exclusive Astral Chain, a remaster of Kamiya’s The Wonderful 101, and the Apple Arcade title World of Demons. Otherwise, Platinum has been quite busy, announcing in early 2020 their “Platinum 4” project of four (or more) new games.
