New Bayonetta 3 Trailer Focuses on a Coven of Bayonettas

It’s almost time for Bayonetta 3 to officially come out and Nintendo has uploaded perhaps the final trailer for the game. At over four minutes long, the “Bayonettas Everywhere?!” trailer focuses more on the plot of the game. Though there is quite a bit of focus on new character Viola, the trailer still drops some tantalizing hints on what lies in store for the Umbra Witch.

Different versions of Bayonetta show up throughout the trailer, which may play into the multiple timelines fan theory. There is one with her high ponytail, one with braided pigtails, and even one with pink hair. The phrase “You yourself are a woman out of time” appears in the trailer, which lends even more credence to the idea. Aside from Bayonetta and Viola, recurring characters such as Luka and Jeanne make some cameo appearances.

At the end of the trailer, there is a short clip of side-scroller mode that will be part of Bayonetta 3, though it’s unclear if this will take place within the narrative or if it’s a bonus mode. You will play as Jeanne in this section. Aside from the stylish acrobats signature to Bayonetta, Jeanne can also perform Metal Gear Solid-like moves such as dragging people into vents. Of course, there is a giant demon that Jeanne has to fight against at the end.

Bayonetta 3 will come out exclusively for the Nintendo Switch on October 28, 2022.
