Bayonetta 3 will be released on the 28th as a Nintendo Switch exclusive. This work is a sequel that appeared after 8 years, and tells the story of Bayonetta, who has the power of a witch, who has been sleeping for hundreds of years and then wakes up from a coffin that has sunk at the bottom of the lake and meets countless enemies to find her memories. In addition to the characters that appeared in the previous work, new characters will appear, giving players a more unique way to play.
‘New character’ and familiar faces
A new biological weapon, the Homunculus, which is different from the angels and demons that have appeared before. This being is trying to destroy the human world that Bayonetta and the others live in, in order to gain enough power to blow away the demon kingdom and the heavenly kingdom. Singularity is the mastermind behind the destruction of the world by leading the homunculus army. Although it is completely different from a homunculus as a mineral, an unknown beast that attacks Bayonetta with its huge claws will also appear. What this being wants is still unknown. In addition, four new characters appeared with the same face as Bayonetta, raising curiosity about the relationship with Bayonetta.
A new playable character will also appear. Bayonetta 3’s new character, Viola, attacks using her unique weapon Mev’s Greatsword and summons the cat-shaped beast, Cheshire. In the Bayonetta universe, Bayonetta and Jeanne are the only witches in the world who can handle magical beasts, so Viola’s identity is even more curious. Viola follows Luca, a freelance journalist from her previous job, and travels around the world. Jeanne, who appeared in the previous work, also appears as a playable character. Unlike Bayonetta and Viola, which play stylish third-person action, Jeanne comes in a more unique gameplay format.
You can also meet other previous characters. In Bayonetta 3, Rodin, an underworld weapons worker who provides Bayonetta with weapons he made for himself, Enzo, who provides information to Bayonetta through his own path, and Luca, a freelance journalist who pursuit of the truth, appears again in Bayonetta 3.
New gameplay with huge monsters
A new action using a new technology daemon slave was also revealed. Demon Slave is a skill that summons monsters that live in the Demon Realm using magical powers and control them as desired. It is an action-packed drama that uses the current spider-shaped monster Phantasmaranea to move between collapsed buildings or ignite a locomotive-like beast. is revealed. When a giant beast appears, Bayonetta moves as if dancing, controlling the beast to attack the enemy. Demon Slave derivative technology Torture Attack, Wink Slave, and Assault Slave were also introduced.
Beasts such as Baal and Miktlantecutli from the previous work also appear again. Monsters from the previous work can also play with a new feel by using demonic minions. A Demon Slave using a magical beast can deliver a powerful blow, but there is a penalty for becoming vulnerable along the way.
If you look at the third trailer for Bayonetta 3, you can see Jeanne breaking into the mysterious facility only at the end of the video. It looks like you are watching a spy movie, and you can enjoy the action that is different from the main story.
As you progress through the story, you will be able to equip a variety of weapons such as the G-pillar and Ignis Aranea yo-yo, including the 4 Color My World pistols. By being able to use various weapons, it is possible to fight advantageously in long-range, short- and medium-range battles.
Witch Time, the technology of its predecessor, can also be found in Bayonetta 3. Position Time is a skill that allows you to unilaterally attack during an enemy attack by pressing the dodge button in time with the enemy’s attack time as the enemy’s motion becomes slow motion for a certain amount of time.
Bayonetta can use her hair to summon monsters or make tools for torture, and the clothes she wears are also made of hair. So, the premise is that if you summon a demon, your clothes will come off. Taking this into account, a naive angel mode is set which adjusts the exposure level of the character. When naive angel mode is turned on, the character’s clothing is relatively intact in scenes where clothing is removed or a character with high exposure appears.
Bayonetta 3 will be released on the Nintendo Switch on the 28th and will cost 64,800 won. The deluxe Bayonetta 3 Trinity Masquerade Edition can be purchased for 94,800 won.
