It's been quite a while since we last heard anything to do with the upcoming Bayonetta 3; we know it's coming, and that it'll probably be fantastic, but things have pretty quiet over the last few months. Luckily, we now have a tiny update directly from the creators of the game - and things are sounding pretty great.
Today, at the Bitsummit Roadshow event taking place in Tokyo, PlatinumGames’ Hideki Kamiya and Atsushi Inaba shared a brief, but exciting, update on the development of the new game. According to Dualshockers - who were in attendance at the event - the game is reportedly “on course” and everybody on the development team is “in sync.”
That's not all, though, as the duo also left us with this wonderful little tease.
“It’s nice to be able to tell you that everything is going very, very well. We’re all very excited about what we’re doing on that game.”
Although we're still awaiting more specific details on the game, Kamiya and Inaba have previously described the game as "a turning point for the company", knowing that fans expect the new title to "raise the bar". It's certainly an exciting time for fans of the series, but you might just have to make do with the titular character's appearance in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate to tide you over for now.
On a scale of one to "absolutely, give it to me now", how excited are you for Bayonetta 3? Let us know with a comment below.

My scale is broken over the anticipation and excitement.
Yessssss! Straight up music to my ears! ^_^
Amazing!... This will be epic. "excited" is so an understatement. PlatinumGames will not disappoint.
I check for Bayonetta 3 news almost every day.
I will get the first two on switch when this comes out so i can do a marathon.
Very nice
FINALLY some kind of Bayonetta 3 news! I am so pumped for this game!
So can we play it in 2019? I'm too hyped to wait any longer..
I can't wait to see it. I wonder if they can top Bayonetta 2, that game has some absolutely insane fights.
I am so excited for this game after playing 1+2 earlier this year. Seeing how much 2 was improved from 1, 3 just has to meet that level of quality to get my seal of approval, it was such a fantastic action game.
The 1st was a great game. The 2nd was amazing, one of the best in the genre. The 3rd has a pretty high bar but I’ll be happy if it’s just more story but gameplay from 2nd.
I liked the story of the first one better, however, the gameplay on the second one is much better than the first game.
I hope they will improve it further so that we can have a game that competes with DMC to call "our exclusive" as Capcom is still ignoring the Switch.
@Kimyonaakuma I reckon that might be a possibility as they have all the assets of the game already done and just need to improve them.
So yeah, I believe that it's totally possible to have it next year.
GIVE ME!!!!!!
EDIT but take your time sir... We want good games 😁
Wonder what child character will be in the next game since there’s been one in the first two. Either way, the hype is immense and I preordered on Amazon the day it was announced and listed
Good to know this game is still kickin'! Not that I doubted it was.
Can’t wait for this to come out.
Loved these on Xbox 360 and WiiU but this third entry is going to have to really do something big to keep fans happy. Vanquish Remastered to keep us going until release??
This and Metroid 4 are making me nuts. Can’t WAIT!!!
I really hope this comes out in 2019 with Metroid. It'll be a better year than 2017
Take your time. I still need to go back and finish the first game and then play the second after that.
2019 is going to be amazing isn't it!
Super hyped. Top 3 most anticipated Switch Game for me. Keep getting tempted to replay them both! Platinum do action better than everyone else.
I just wanna see Bayo's new hair design. If they changed it not.
Gimme. Now.
Okay, I'm not usually too cynical on these stories... but what else would the developers of a game say? "Oh it's all off track, it's not going well and we're all VERY depressed about the game.."?
I'll file this under the "someone who wants to sell you something says it's good" heading & really hope Bayonetta 3 turns out to be an AMAZING game.
Way too excited! But I can wait, I want it to be perfect.
In my 2019 release schedule prediction list, I had Bayonetta 3 coming in March,based on nothing but a gut feeling. Most others on the forum didn't even list B3,doubting it would come next year at all. These comments give me confidence it's at least coming next year,even if March is a little optimistic.
Boyonetta isn't for me, but I'm still holding out hope for Wonderful 101 and/or Wonderful 102
Good
I still don’t know how they can top the last one, but I look forward to finding out!
@Ryu_Niiyama Give yourself some time. B1 is pretty darn hard. And long. And glorious.
I am so excited I could cry, but I will wait as long as needed so the game is as perfect as possible. Please take your time, PG!
There is no scale on which to properly rate and rank my excitement. I'm also looking forward to finding out which classic property they'll borrow gameplay from this time, even if only for one brief level ("Space Harrier" in Bayo 1 and Starfox in 2).
Hype on a scale of 1 to 10?
IT'S OVER 9000!!!
@tourjeff Let's hope so! I wouldn't be suprised if we see some gameplay at E3 and then a release date in October/November
...or we can play it in January 2019 if some miracle happens
Looking forward to seeing some gameplay soon.
@bluedogrulez I ‘ve beaten both twice. I will just marathon the whole series when 3 comes out.
I hope and pray for a surprise Bayonetta 3 trailer on TGS. Considering that the Switch is booming in Japan & TGS is the biggest japanese event, it's very plausible that we'll get something new
Fly me to the Moon and let me play amongst the stars....
Terrific news! I can't wait to see all the new designs of everything.
@Ryu_Niiyama Great idea!
Lol! They are sooo teasing.
but i cant wait!
Some awesome games i am totally hyped about but havent seen anything from it yet lol.
Bayonetta,
(new main) Pokemon,
Metroid 4,
Also the new game coming called TOWN. Big fan of RPG so def interested.
But for this year most hyped for smash!
Haven’t finished the first one yet and not started the second. Something about it just doesn’t click with me.
@BenGrimm 2 is a lot more user friendly, even if Cereza cut her hair
Sounds very good indeed! I like that they seem to change things up, saying it’s a turning point for the company sounds exaggerated but I would be very glad if that turns out to be true.
My favorite sassy, badass witch! Can't wait!
So is Platinum a 2nd party of Nintendo yet or nah...?
So stoked for Bayonetta 3! Bought Bayonetta 2 for the WiiU with the beautiful hardcover book, got all the amiibos...and I HAD to re-up for the switch and get it again. As soon as the pre-order is available I'm jumping on it!
Ohhhhh yeahhhh
Love the first two and 3 is, by far, my most-anticipated game for any system right now. Even ahead of Metroid Prime 4, The Last of Us Part II, Gears 5 and Resident Evil 2 remake.
Can't wait for this any sooner.
This silence is killing me now
If this comes out 2019.... It'll be packed with games! Bayo 3, Yoshi, Animal Crossing, Kingdom Hearts 3, .... So many things to look forward to!
@DanteSolablood Yeah, they said pretty much nothing aside from "We're still working on it".
It's non-news.
Just taking a step back and looking at the next couple of years of content, I believe Nintendo is really spacing out their releases well. It's good to know about big hitters like this and Metroid being in the pipeline.
It's in my top 3 Hype (among official announcements) with Metroid Prime 4 and Fire Emblem Three Houses
Can't wait to see some gameplay footage
