Remember Bayonetta 3 (the writer asked sarcastically)? It was announced back in 2017 for Switch but has been mostly vapor ever since, with next to no information about its development anywhere to be found. The only tidbits that have been eked out have stated not to worry about the game have been quietly canceled and that it’s coming along well. Speaking with VGC, Platinum’s boss Hideki Kamiya has given a small update and explained why there has been so much silence regarding Bayonetta 3’s development.
In brief, Nintendo is the primary reason Platinum has had to keep its lips sealed. Kimeya states that the desire is there to show off how Bayonetta 3 is shaping up, but the decision is out of his and his company’s hands. He elaborated on the point a bit more:
“As much as everyone is clamoring to see it, we are really, really waiting to release it too,” he said. “Everyone who is working on the project is of course very proud of what we’re doing and wants everyone to see what we’re doing.
“As much as fans are waiting for it, we are waiting for the day when we can show it. We want everyone to cheer us on as we run to the final stretch. We want to show it too!”
Thus, the idea that no news is good new when it comes to Bayonetta 3 appears to be mostly true. Of course, there’s still no sense of what the game will be like when it finally launches, but at least the so-called mystery behind Platinum’s silence has been explained.
