Its’ been nearly a year since Nintendo confirmed the game’s 2022 release window, and finally, Bayonetta 3 has an official release date!

Nintendo recently shared a new trailer for the game, and it revealed that the game will launch this October on the Switch.

Check out the Bayonetta 3 release date trailer here.

Developed by PlatinumGames, Bayonetta 3 is the long-awaited next installment in the series, and it is a follow-up to 2014’s Bayonetta 2 which was initially released as a WiiU exclusive.

The game is described as:

“Bayonetta struts through multiple locations in an all-new, over-the-top climax action game. Sporting a wicked new ensemble and somehow familiar pigtails, the titular Umbra Witch must face a mysterious evil using her signature guns and time-slowing Witch Time ability. This time, invading manmade bioweapons called Homunculi find themselves in Bayonetta’s crosshairs.

Tap into Bayonetta’s naughtier side with Demon Masquerade, a new ability that channels the demon linked to her weapon allowing for some exciting action options, not to mention some hair-raising combos. She can also summon her demonic darlings like Gomorrah, Malphas, and Phantasmaraneae during battle, unleashing their demonic powers in the heat of combat and in new, larger-than-life battles where you directly control the action.”

Bayonetta 3 will release exclusively on the Nintendo Switch on October 28, 2022.
