Bayonetta 3 Day One Patch Notes Explain Naive Angel Mode Additions

A 1.1.0 day one update is available for Bayonetta 3, and the patch notes confirm it adds to Naive Angel Mode. Once applied, it also allows people to upload scores to Online Rankings leaderboards. Some rebalancing is mentioned as well, though no specifics were offered.

The Bayonetta 3 Naive Angel Mode additions are among the most detailed ones. To explain, this optional mode makes certain scenes more friendly for players of all ages by adjusting clothing for characters like Bayonetta and Madama Butterfly during certain scenes. Once the update is applied, someone can choose to turn the feature on when starting a game. If it isn’t, someone would need to go into Options. There are also more changed scenes available if enabled.

Here are the full Bayonetta 3 day one patch notes from the Nintendo Support site.
