Waiting for more news on the highly-anticipated Bayonetta 3 has become a bit torturous now, but we got a ray of sunlight in December last year when Hideki Kamiya revealed that development is "going really well". That's reassuring, but we need to see new footage pronto; since it got announced during The Game Awards 2017, there has been little tangible news on the game, although we'll forgive PlatinumGames as it did bring us the rather lovely Astral Chain.
Hopefully, more news could be on the way very soon indeed. In a chat with Inside Games (translated by Siliconera), PlatinumGames president Kenichi Sato has mentioned "several big announcements" for early 2020, which will surely include something on the upcoming sequel:
"Last year, we said that 2019 would be a year where the curtain rises for a new stage for PlatinumGames. We're a bit late on that, but I believe we'll have several big announcements to deliver early in the new year, so please look forward to that."
Well this all seems very exciting indeed - perhaps we'll even see the Umbra Witch fully return in style during 2020. Fingers crossed.
Let us know if you're pumped for PlatinumGames' upcoming announcements with a comment below.

Danger's coming, looming large, so who's gonna make a stand?
The 101 are taking charge! The line is drawn in the sand.
Knuckles crack in 202 different ways
But each and every one has got the same thing to say...
Red: Unite Morph!
Because their hearts beat as one
Red: Unite Hand!
And put the bad guys on the run...
Let's Dance, Boys!
Happy with Bayo 3 and Babylon's Fall... but more is always nice.
Scalebound switch when?
Guessing Bayo 3 will show up in a Direct at some point soon. About time.
Star Fox Zero port?
$20 or $25 astral chain story DLC please + thank you
Please bring Nier Automata to the Switch, would love to see that and I'm kinda surprised it isn't already on the Switch
@AFernandes03 Square Enix is the publisher, and they don't seem to want it on Switch.
@sanderev i know, i just don't get why, especially because it would certaintly sell really well. And the creator already said that he wants the game on the switch and that we should ask Square for it. I still have hopes that will come
Wonderful 101 port, Wonderful 102, Bayo 3 release date.
What you guys bring we love you.
Transformers: Devastation?
Platinum bought by Microsoft, Bayo cancelled, user rights for digital purchases of any Platinum game on any non-Microsoft system retracted. Best known staff fired. Boring spin-offs of popular IP's planned within three years.
"Looking forward to a great new future together with our new partner."
"Wake up!", a high pitched voice shouts. You open your eyes. Kakariko village theme starts playing. "Hey! Listen!".
You realise you were having a nightmare again. Platinum Games brings EVERYTHING to Switch.
Scalebound an Xbox launch game for 2020....mauahahahaha
Chances of ports of Nier automata and wonderful 101 are high.
@AFernandes03 Nier Automata is a demanding game. It wouldn’t be quick or easy to port.
If I find out that Bayonetta 3 was never actually in development and that Nintendo and Platinum were just trying to get more people to buy Nintendo systems, I will probably never support either of those two companies again, and I will definitely raise hell about it. I will constantly remind everyone how screwed up the company is.
Nier 3 or Nier Automata 2 would make me so freaking happy.
@DrDaisy They have MULTIPLE games they have been working on for a pretty long time now.
PlatinumGames do not have the biggest staff, so making all these different games at the same time, is probably why the games are having such a large development time.
Bayonetta 3 is what everyone predicts really do see it being a 2020 release
Several, eh? Maybe a remake of Star Fox Zero, without the second screen shoehorned in, as well as online multiplayer? And most importantly, having Krystal make an appearance, even as just a cameo?
Nier original ps2 collection along with Nier 3 for Switch all in one package.
Not coming to Switch unfortunately but I’m glad Vanquish is making a comeback. More Bayonetta 3 news would be great, but I’m patient.
@DrDaisy Wha... you smokin' something there, bud?
@Eddyson If you're right, then there won't be any problems. Just keep in mind that Nintendo strung Earthbound fans along for multiple consoles before "scrapping" Earthbound 64 and putting Mother 3 on GBA only in Japan. I'm not even remotely a fan of the Mother series and that still made me mad.
@DrDaisy I'm beginning to think you're not a real doctor...
@shonenjump86 more Vanquish love from over here!
Nintendo Direct CONFIRMED!!!
@Bondi_Surfer Why? Because I don't trust companies anymore? If putting blind faith in corporations was a prerequisite for being a doctor (and I'm pretty sure it's not), the medical field would be screwed.
@DrDaisy You're coming across as someone who is a tad angry - take a chill pill (you could prescribe it yourself if you were a real doctor!)
I'm going through one of those phases where I pretty much hate everyone.
