Bayonetta 3 series#

While Bayonetta is deliberately obscured, eagle-eyed fans were able to see that her appearance differed from her usual, Bayonetta 1-era look in some small ways. The first piece of evidence was in the original teaser trailer. The theory is that the person who appears in this trailer is actually a grown-up Cereza from an alternate timeline and that we will at some point be reunited with вЂњourвЂќ Bayonetta. The crux of this theory involves a character who appeared in the first game: Cereza, a younger version of Bayonetta who went by the characterвЂ™s birth name. The Bayonetta 3 Alternate Universe Theory But this is anathema to fans, so theyвЂ™ve made a whole theory that would explain how Taylor can both be playing and not playing Bayonetta in Bayonetta 3.ДЄt any rate, hereвЂ™s the evidence they - okay, we - have compiled to support the idea that the Bayonetta we saw in the trailers isnвЂ™t the one that we played in the first and second games. OccamвЂ™s razor would suggest that Bayonetta has a new voice because Hellena Taylor was not invited back or simply chose not to reprise the role for whatever reason. Perhaps itвЂ™s a testament to how attached Bayonetta fans are to her actress (as well as everything else about her) that theyвЂ™ve come up with a complicated alternate timeline to explain why she has a new one. Because fans are holding out hope that Taylor isnвЂ™t gone from the game completely, and because she has not outright stated sheвЂ™s parted ways with the character, weвЂ™re all making hay with what we have. Regular voice actress Hellena Taylor had previously tweeted some cryptic references to Bayonetta being voiced by someone new and then refusing to elaborate. The primary reason for all the Bayonetta 3 theory-crafting is probably because fans are trying to rationalize why Bayonetta has a new voice actress. Bayonetta Sounds Different, and We Must Explain That HereвЂ™s everything you need to know about the Bayonetta 3 Alternate Universe / Time-Traveling Cerezanetta Theory, as IвЂ™m calling it. LetвЂ™s talk about how Bayonetta fans have built an entire plot theory for the new game, why theyвЂ™ve done so, and what evidence they have.

Bayonetta 3 series#

I donвЂ™t think itвЂ™s possible to overstate how much this game and this series mean to me, but I know that not everyone is going to want to see me have a big olвЂ™ fangirl meltdown, so instead, letвЂ™s talk about something constructive. To say that fans like myself were on the verge of tears would be closer to the truth than I care to admit. Capcom revealed a new gameplay trailer at the most recent Nintendo Direct, showing off BayonettaвЂ™s new look, her new angel-killing abilities, and her new voice. Clearly, Nintendo now feels like the time is right to lift the veil on the long-awaited project.It finally happened: After nearly four years of waiting and hoping, Bayonetta 3 is ready for prime time. Platinum itself has indicated multiple times in 2021, however, that it is very much ready to show off more of Bayonetta 3 whenever Nintendo is ready to do so. Since that time, Platinum and Nintendo haven't shown off anything new about the project in any capacity. As mentioned, the first time we saw Bayonetta 3 happened all the way back at The Game Awards in 2017.

Regardless, the fact that Nintendo has now assigned an official release window for Bayonetta 3 tells us that the project is surely going to reappear during today's Direct. As such, it's hard to know whether or not this period within the latter portion of 2022 is accurate, or if instead, the game will be arriving earlier on in the year. Previously, a more defined window of September 2022 until December 2022 was given to Bayonetta 3, but this more defined window has since disappeared on the webpage. When it comes to the game's launch window, Nintendo has now said that the title will arrive at some point within 2022. This release window leak for Bayonetta 3 specifically comes from Nintendo's own website, which adds quite a bit of legitimacy to it.
