Summary

Bayonetta 3 marks the return of the Umbran witch eight years after the last release on the Nintendo Wii U, Bayonetta 2. Bayonetta embarks on a multiversal adventure when a mysterious being known as the Singularity enters the picture and slays the Bayonettas of several universes, absorbing their powers and destroying their realms. One Bayonetta, her friend Jeanne, and a new mysterious Umbran witch in training named Viola are all that stand in the way of complete multiversal destruction. Bayonetta 3 implements several new game mechanics, such as the Demon Slave system, where players can summon massive demons to fight alongside them and crush foes on the field. Additionally, players can expect massive kaiju-sized battles where they'll assume control of these demons and engage in city-sized battles.
