(Paradigm credit: Nintendo)

Bayonetta iii was get-go announced in 2017 and it's nonetheless non out yet. Fans go along to eagerly await the next chapter in the umbra witch's adventures. And later years of small trickles of information, Platinum Games has finally graced fans with a new trailer and release window.

Bayonetta three is set to launch erstwhile in 2022. Beyond that, we don't know exactly when. The game will exclusively release on Nintendo Switch. From the first gameplay footage, the graphics look a little dated, but the game still runs at 60fps.

Below is everything we know so far nearly Bayonetta 3.

Bayonetta 3 expected release appointment

Bayonetta has a release appointment for sometime in 2022. Beyond that, we have no exact fourth dimension frame. But the game does seem to be progressing well. The game will exclusively come to Nintendo Switch. Although, considering the game has a darker colour pallete, blacks would probable await much better on the Switch OLED.

Grayness DeLisle-Griffin, who played Jeanne in the offset two games, tweeted that the game hasn't started recording voicework yet, as far as she's aware. That was back in 2020.

Bayonetta 3 trailer

There have been ii trailers released for Bayonetta 3 so far. The most recent one, which was unveiled during the Nintendo Direct Event in September, features gameplay and shows off Bayonetta's new hairstyle and outfit.

The first trailer, embedded below, was revealed at The Game Awards in 2017.

In it, we see Bayonetta's ribbon drift down past a blood-scarlet moon, as the protagonist herself gets slammed with a circular of attacks from a fiery purple foe. She fires back with ii new guns, collapses from the onslaught and — well, that'south nigh it.

The trailer isn't really supposed to give us a deep dive into the story or gameplay, just let us know that the game is in the works. In that respect, information technology gets the task done.

Bayonetta three gameplay

Based on the most recent trailer for Bayonetta iii, the gameplay looks like to the first two games. That ways a lot of activity while baring a lot of peel. The game continues its over-the-top tradition of Bayonetta making increasingly wacky monsters out of her hair, including a behemothic dragon and spider.

Wait Bayonetta to juggle foes while using both melee attacks and guns. (The new guns she wields in the trailer are called "Whittingham Fair," not dissimilar from the "Scarborough Fair" guns in the previous games.)

There'll probably exist new vehicle sections, beast transformations and Torture Attacks, many of which would require Freud's entire canon to parse. Bayonetta 2 refined Bayonetta's gameplay rather than reinventing it, and we expect the third game to follow a similar blueprint.
